HookNotifier

Read full description

Getting a notification when something happens should not require building an app, a Firebase project, and a backend. Hook.Notifier is the last mile: you get a personal URL, you call it from anything that can make an HTTP request, and a real native notification lands on your iPhone. One HTTP request. A notification on your phone. That is the whole thing, and it is free. WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH IT Send yourself a push from a shell script, a cron job, a webhook (Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, Supabase), a Zapier or Make automation, a monitoring tool like Uptime Kuma or Grafana, or a few lines of code in any language. If it can make an HTTP request, it can notify you. • Get pinged when a payment fails, a build breaks, a server goes down, a form is submitted, or a new order comes in. • Know the moment a cron job finishes, a backup completes, or a container stops. • Turn any webhook into a phone notification without a middleman. BUILT FOR REAL USE • Priorities: low, normal, high, critical. Critical is delivered as time-sensitive so real incidents still reach you. • Quiet hours: silence normal notifications on your schedule, let the urgent ones through. • Tags: colored folders to route and filter your notifications, with per-tag mute. • A real inbox: your notifications are kept, searchable, and organized, not just fired and forgotten. • Scheduled delivery: send now, or in 10 minutes, or at an exact time, up to three days ahead. • Updates in place: a long job can be one notification that goes from "running" to "done" instead of a pile of pings. • Markdown, images, and up to three action buttons on a notification. • Named hooks: a dedicated, revocable URL per source, each with its own defaults, so you can cut one off without touching the others. • Team sharing: notify everyone on your team at once. • Multi-device: receive on every device you sign in on. NO INFRASTRUCTURE No Firebase project. No Apple push certificates. No backend to store device tokens. No app to build. Hook.Notifier handles the plumbing so you just send a request and get notified. FREE Hook.Notifier is free. No subscription, no per-notification quota. Send as much as you actually need. WHO IT IS FOR Developers, makers, indie hackers, sysadmins, no-coders, and anyone tired of rigging up Discord or Telegram bots just to get a ping on their phone. Get your URL, call it from anything, get notified. That is Hook.Notifier.
