Send Notifications Pushback lets you receive interactive notifications on your iPhone. A notification can have actions, such as buttons or a reply textbox, which allows you to interact with your servers, scripts, applications, etc., without even opening the app. Synchronous Interactions When you send a notification with our API, Pushback can keep the connection open, waiting for the user's interaction. Once they have hit a button, the response is delivered to your request, useful for quick prototypes or cron jobs. Response Callbacks Pushback can send responses from your notifications to a server via a callback URL. The responses can be customized to only send the data you are interested in. Quick Setup Install the app and use curl. That's it. Hassle free No registration required. Try it out and sign up later. Multiple Users Invite friends and coworkers to receive notications with a link.

The simplest and smoothest todo list for daily tasks. - No ads - No signup required - No subscription or payments How do you use Daylist? 1. Create lists for today with one tap - Grocery shopping, work tasks or anything else. 2. Write down the tasks you’d like to get done 3. Want to be reminded of a task? No problem, just another tap for that. 4. When you’re done with your task, check it off in the app. You’re going to love this step ;) You’ll have a fresh start each day - no need to manage long term lists. That’s it, nothing more, nothing less. Daily lists, as minimalistic and smooth as it gets. NO SIGNUP OR SPAM You just get right into the app. We don’t need to know your email or anything else for that matter. Also, anything you enter in the app stays right there, we don’t send your data to god knows where. Privacy first! NO SUBSCRIPTIONS Try the app for a week, and if it’s what you’re looking for, then you can continue using it forever with a one time purchase. Oh yea, no ads either. If you’re not sold by now, just give it a go. The app does a way better job of showing how wonderful todo lists can be than I can describe in text.
