About

Pascal's Pager

Read full description

Your systems speak JSON. Pascal speaks human. Pascal's Pager turns raw webhook JSON into concise, readable Alerts on your iPhone. Create a Source, paste its private URL into any service that can send a webhook, and Pascal handles the rest. There is no field mapping, no JSONPath, no per-sender parser, and no glue code to rewrite when a payload changes shape. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a Source and name it: Payments, Website Monitor, Home Server. 2. Choose which fields to mask, and how much attention that Source deserves. 3. Copy the Source's private webhook URL into the sending service. About 30 seconds. 4. When JSON arrives, Pascal masks the fields you chose, reads the payload, and sends a plain-language Alert. WHAT AN ALERT GIVES YOU - A specific title and a body you can read at a glance - A short summary, the facts that mattered, and anything worth your attention - Safe links back into the service that sent it - One tap to the payload Pascal actually processed MASKED BEFORE THE MODEL Masking is applied on Pascal's server, before the request leaves it. You configure it per Source, and it is part of the product rather than a paid upgrade. Every AI request uses Zero Data Retention routing. Providers are required to deny data collection. Provider-side input and output logging stays off. Operational metrics record model, provider and cost, never the content of a payload. Raw payloads are never stored as plain text. A separately encrypted copy of the original is kept for your own audit view and ordinarily expires after 30 days, along with the Alert and the processed payload. Deleting your account removes your Sources, Alerts, retained payloads and device registrations. WHEN PASCAL IS UNSURE An Alert is produced by an AI model against a strict schema, so its shape is constrained rather than freeform. The model is instructed to work only from the payload, and payload content is handled as untrusted data, so instructions written inside a payload are not followed. It can still misread an incomplete or unusual payload. That is why every Alert links to the payload as processed, and why you should be able to check the underlying system before acting on one. Pascal's Pager is an informational webhook reader. It is not built for emergency, medical, safety-critical or on-call use. HOW MUCH IT INTERRUPTS Set each Source to Quiet, Standard or Time Sensitive, or let Pascal choose between them. Critical Alerts are out of scope: Pascal does not override silent mode or a Focus unconditionally. CONTROL OVER EVERY SOURCE Pause, rotate or revoke a Source URL whenever you want. Holding a webhook URL lets a service send to it and never grants read access to anything. Leaving means deleting a URL from the service that sends it. BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD - iPhone only. Requires iOS 26. - Any service that can POST JSON to a URL will work. - An account is required. SUBSCRIPTION Pascal's Pager is one monthly auto-renewing subscription. Each billing period includes up to 5,000 processed Alerts, and a fresh allowance starts on every renewal. Duplicate webhook deliveries and in-app test Alerts do not count against it. The price is 7.99 GBP per month in the United Kingdom. Apple sets the equivalent price in other regions and shows it, with any introductory offer you are eligible for, before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Terms of use: https://pascalspager.com/terms Privacy policy: https://pascalspager.com/privacy Pascal is standing by.
