Echobell turns webhooks and emails into alerts you can't miss on iPhone and Apple Watch: a push notification, a Time-Sensitive alert that breaks through Focus, or a phone call that rings through Silent Mode. Give any tool your channel's webhook URL or email address. When a server goes down, a build fails, a price crosses your line or your AI agent needs you, your phone knows within seconds. THREE ALERT LEVELS • Push: a standard notification for routine events • Time-Sensitive: breaks through Focus so important alerts get seen • Phone call: rings like an incoming call, on iPhone and Apple Watch, and reads the alert aloud CONNECT ANYTHING • Every channel gets its own webhook URL and email address • Works with anything that can send an HTTP request or an email: Grafana, Prometheus Alertmanager, Uptime Kuma, UptimeRobot, Zabbix, TradingView, n8n, Zapier, Make, IFTTT, Home Assistant, GitHub Actions, cron jobs and your own scripts • AI agents: connect Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any MCP client to Echobell's MCP server so it can notify you, or call you, when work finishes or it needs your input ONLY THE ALERTS THAT MATTER • Templates turn raw JSON into a clear title and message • Conditions filter the noise: alert only when status is "error", when a price passes 50,000, or within the hours you set • Links in each alert open the right dashboard, chart or runbook BUILT FOR TEAMS AND ON-CALL • Share a channel with one link • Every subscriber picks their own level: a call for whoever is on call, a push for everyone else PRIVATE BY DESIGN Notification content and history stay on your device. Our servers keep only what delivery needs: your account, channels and subscriptions. NEW IN 2.0 A guided start: a quick intro, a one-tap test notification and a short checklist that takes you from install to your first real alert. WHO USES ECHOBELL • Developers, DevOps and SRE teams watching servers, uptime, deploys and CI • Traders following crypto, stock and strategy price alerts • Home lab and smart home owners tracking sensors, backups and NAS • Anyone who needs one specific email to actually reach them Echobell is free to start.

Turn your iPhone into an intelligent, fail-safe pager. Smart Pager is not just another reminder app. It is a dedicated alert system designed for the events that matter most—whether it’s picking up your child, catching a market crash, or monitoring a crashing server. We monitor the data in the background so you can live your life. WHY SMART PAGER? Standard notifications get lost in the noise. Smart Pager utilizes Critical Alerts to bypass your iPhone’s Silent switch and Do Not Disturb modes, ensuring you hear the alarm when it counts. REAL-WORLD USE CASES: Smart ETA & Traffic Monitoring The Problem: You need to pick up your child by 5:00 PM, but traffic is unpredictable. An alarm at 4:30 PM might be too late. The Solution: Tell us your destination and target arrival time. We actively monitor Google Maps traffic data and trigger the alarm exactly when you need to leave to arrive on time. Stock & Crypto Signals The Problem: Markets move fast. An email notification is too slow and easy to miss. The Solution: Connect your trading algorithms or use our stock presets. When a critical alpha signal hits, your phone rings immediately—even if it's in your pocket on mute. DevOps & Webhooks The Problem: Servers crash at 3 AM. The Solution: Use our generic Webhook API to trigger alerts from your own backend. If your system goes down, Smart Pager wakes you up. KEY FEATURES: - Tiered Alert Levels: Choose between Subtle (Haptic Shake), Standard (Ring), or Critical (Loud Siren). - Critical Override: Bypasses the physical mute switch and Focus modes (requires permission). - Persistent Looping: Optional "Nag Mode" that keeps ringing like a "Find My" alert until you physically acknowledge it. - Universal API: Easy-to-use JSON webhooks to connect any external data source. - Stop worrying about missing the moment. Let Smart Pager do the watching.
