Pushbullet alternative? (lemmy.ml)

I see several that can push notifications from self hosted services like Gotify, Pushbit, Uptime Kuma, etc. But is there anything that can handle SMS portion that PB does so dang well? I tried KDE Connect and it was not a great experience. But I'll give it another try once my new PC is built, but between my Macbook and my Android phone it was pretty poor. Slow syncing, delays in sending SMS. That sort of thing.

I'm down to selfhost if there's a project already out there, but my searches left me empty handed other than the aforementioned apps.

KDE connect is the only similar one I'm aware of. I'm surprised it didn't work well for you, but I've personally never tried it with Mac

I'm awaiting parts for a new PC build so I'll definitely try it again with a different OS.

I have actually been trying to use KDEConnect with my media center under Gnome using GSConnect for mouse and keyboard. In that case I have found it unstable. Works for awhile, then says unreachable. Should work great but does not.

Found XMouse, and MultiVNC way better for my use. The just work. So not a true connectivity problem. Something about KDEConnect/GSConnect.
