Push notifications from anything that can make an HTTP request. Send notifi.it a title, and optionally a body, image or link, and it appears on your iPhone, iPad or Mac immediately. https://notifi.it/send?title=hello+world Encrypted. Your device holds the only private key. Notifications are encrypted with your public key, so we cannot read them, and deleted from the server once your device has them. No accounts. The app makes a send key on first launch. Keys can be renamed and revoked per source. Urgent alerts. Mark a key as urgent and its notifications break through Focus.

Share a link. Choose where it opens. Tap Share on any link — in Safari, Messages, or any other app — pick Urlish, and choose which app should handle it. No more links that dump you into a browser when the app on your phone would do it better. NEARLY 200 APPS YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, Instagram, X, Reddit, Amazon, WhatsApp, Telegram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Netflix, Twitch, Bluesky, Threads, GitHub, Notion, Strava, Zillow, Zoom and many more — plus third-party clients, so a Reddit link can open in the reader you actually use. MAPS THAT ACTUALLY CONVERT A Google Maps link becomes a real Apple Maps location, not a search guess. Urlish reads the coordinates out of the link and hands them over precisely. It also offers directions, and routing in Waze, Citymapper, Transit and Moovit. SHOWS ONLY WHAT YOU HAVE Apps you don't have installed simply don't appear. Every option in the list is a real one. PREVIEWS AND HISTORY See a page's real title and thumbnail before you choose. Every link you open is kept in a searchable history you can filter by app, annotate with your own notes, share, or delete. NO ACCOUNT. NO TRACKING. NO SERVER. No sign-up, no analytics, nothing to configure. Urlish has no backend at all, asks for no permissions, and collects nothing.
