Pidge is the messenger between you and your AI agents. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, cron jobs, CI — any agent or script can send rich, actionable notifications to your iPhone, and you answer right from the Lock Screen. Your answer flows back to the agent in about a second, and it resumes working. YOUR AGENTS, FINALLY REACHABLE • Finished work lands as readable reports — Markdown with tables, images, real files (PDF, CSV, XLSX) • Decisions arrive as buttons: approve, deny, snooze, or type a reply — without opening the app • A real two-way conversation per agent: threads, replies, delivery checkmarks, "listening now" • Voice notes, on-device dictation and photo markup — reply like a human, your agent gets it as data DELIVERY YOU CONTROL • Five delivery types: quiet messages, time-sensitive banners, urgent alarms that ring through Silent and Focus if you don't answer, event countdowns, and live progress cards • All your running agents share ONE Live Activity status card — never a pile of banners • Per-channel ceilings: agents can request urgency; your policy decides • Sensitive actions (deploys, payments, deletions) can require Face ID — gated actions never appear as Lock Screen buttons BUILT FOR AGENTS • One pasted prompt sets an agent up — the API is self-documenting • Works with the CLI (npx pidge-cli), plain HTTP, webhooks, or WebSockets • Snooze is server-owned and durable — it survives agent restarts • Every send is attributed: a stable persona per session, visible handoffs when a new session takes over PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Optional sealed channels: titles, bodies, replies and action labels end-to-end encrypted on-device • We don't read your content, don't train models on it, don't sell data • Delete your account and all its data anytime, right in the app Every account starts with 30 days of full Pro, free — no payment required.
