NotifyMe turns your iPhone into a personal push notification endpoint. Send alerts from any terminal, script, CI/CD pipeline, or server - with a single HTTP call. No SDK. No third-party service to trust with your data. Just a POST request and your notification lands on your device in seconds. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open NotifyMe and copy your unique device token. 2. POST a JSON payload to the NotifyMe API. 3. Your notification appears instantly. That's it. WHAT YOU CAN SEND · Title and body text · A page URL that opens in Safari when you tap the notification · A rich image attachment displayed directly in the notification and stored in your history BUILT FOR THE COMMAND LINE NotifyMe ships with ready-to-copy snippets for cURL, Httpie, and wget. Open the Examples screen, pick your tool, and you're running in under a minute. No documentation to dig through. Great for: → CI/CD build and deploy alerts → Cron job completions and failures → Server and uptime monitoring → Price drop or inventory alerts from personal scripts → Any webhook that can POST JSON YOUR NOTIFICATION HISTORY Every notification is saved on-device in a searchable history list. Tap any entry to see the full message body, the attached image, and the linked URL — all stored locally, never on our servers. SUBSCRIPTION Start with a free 7-day trial. After that, the Monthly Plan unlocks unlimited incoming notifications. Fair use applies. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscription auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in the app or in your App Store account settings. PRIVACY Your notification content stays on your device. NotifyMe acts as a delivery pipe — we do not read, store, or process the content of your notifications on our servers. Available in English and Italian.

Trigger notifications from anything that can send an HTTP request: agents, scripts, automations, CI jobs, servers, smart home setups, or personal tools. No dashboard. No account setup. No unnecessary complexity. Just a small webhook that works. With brrr, you can: • Send notifications to all your devices or a single device • Trigger notifications from agents, scripts, and automations • Break through mute and Focus mode with critical notifications • Open links directly from notifications • Attach images to notifications • Keep an on-device notification history • Decide when notifications appear using Focus filters GREAT FOR AGENTS brrr is useful for agents and automations. Have an agent notify you when it is waiting for input, when a task finishes, when a run fails, when a deploy completes, or when something needs your attention immediately. FOCUS FRIENDLY brrr integrates with Focus filters so you can decide which notifications are allowed in different contexts. For example, allow work notifications during Work Focus while muting everything else. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Webhook secrets are generated on-device, and data stays tied to your iCloud account. brrr stores only what is required to verify webhook requests and deliver notifications through Apple Push Notification Service. Notification contents are not stored on the backend, and on-device history stays on your device. WHO IT’S FOR If you want a big dashboard packed with options and complexity, this probably is not for you. If you want a clean, fast way to make your devices go brrr, you will feel at home.
