## What is HeroSMS Companion App?

Hero SMS turns your HeroSMS account into a fast, pure-black iPhone app. Get a virtual number for almost any service, watch the verification code land in seconds, and copy it with a single tap.

CODES THAT LAND IN SECONDS
• A live card for every active number, with a countdown ring and the code front and center
• Tap to copy the number or the code, with or without the country code
• Need another code? Request another SMS on the same number
• Finish when you're done, or cancel for a refund if no code has arrived

CODES THAT COME TO YOU
• Turn on notifications, and if you leave the app while a number is waiting, the code arrives in a notification within seconds
• The code is right in the title, with the message below. Long-press to copy the code, or tap to open the number
• Notifications are time-sensitive, so codes can break through Focus. You choose in iOS Settings
• For instant delivery, add your personal webhook URL to your HeroSMS profile. It works for numbers you buy on the website too

LIVE ACTIVITIES & WIDGETS
• Every waiting number gets a Live Activity: the countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, then the code the moment it lands
• Buy Again widgets in three sizes: get a new number for a recent service and country in one tap
• A Control Center button for your latest pick

MADE FOR IPAD
• A floating glass dock with your sections, live numbers and balance
• Numbers beside their messages, services beside their countries, and history and account side by side

800+ SERVICES, 180+ COUNTRIES
• Search every service instantly
• Compare countries by price, delivery rate or available stock
• Choose a specific mobile operator when it matters
• Star your favorite services and countries so they're always on top
• Buy again: your recent service and country pairs, one tap away

KNOW WHERE IT ALL WENT
• History for the last 14 days, grouped by day
• Spending, received codes and success rate at a glance
• Search your history by number, service or code

DESIGNED FOR OLED
• A pure-black, monochrome interface that looks stunning on OLED displays
• Made of Liquid Glass: a floating tab bar that morphs as you move, a live code pill, and smooth zoom transitions
• Haptics when a code arrives, plus optional auto-copy

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Your API key is stored in the iOS Keychain, on your device
• The app talks directly to HeroSMS: no sign-up, no ads, no analytics, no tracking
• Notifications are optional. They're sent by a small relay that never stores your messages or codes

HOW IT WORKS
1. Copy the API key from your HeroSMS account
2. Paste it into the app
3. Pick a service and a country, and your number is ready

Requires a HeroSMS account with a balance. Numbers are provided by HeroSMS and paid from your HeroSMS balance. Hero SMS is an independent companion app for HeroSMS accounts.
