## What is Instatus?

Instatus on your phone, for when something breaks and you're away from your desk.

BE THE FIRST TO KNOW
• Pages and monitor alerts as push notifications, with a phone call when you're on call
• Acknowledge, hand off or ask for cover right from the notification, the Live Activity or Control Center
• See who is on call now, who is next, and your own shifts for the week

RESPOND WITHOUT A LAPTOP
• Report an incident or post an update in seconds, from scratch or from a template
• Pick affected components and their status; your status page and subscribers update with it
• Fix a typo in an update you already posted
• Comment for your team and follow the full timeline of every incident

KEEP AN EYE ON EVERYTHING
• Monitors with uptime, response times and the latest checks; pause, resume or check now
• Component status at a glance, grouped the way your status page shows them
• Search every incident, however far back it goes
• Schedule maintenance, start it early or move it

YOUR WAY
• Choose which teams' monitors, incidents and maintenance reach your phone
• Ask Siri who is on call, or find incidents and monitors in Spotlight
• Widgets and a Live Activity for open incidents
• Works offline with your last data, in light or dark

Sign in with your email, Google or SSO, or scan the code on your Instatus dashboard. An Instatus account is required.
