HOW IT WORKS Create a channel, point any service at its trigger URL or email address, and pick how urgent it is: a normal push, a Time-Sensitive alert, or a phone call. FEATURES - Phone call alerts. An automated voice call reads the message aloud. It rings on your iPhone and natively on your Apple Watch, even when the app is closed. - Trigger from anywhere. Webhook, API, or a unique email address — Grafana, TradingView, IFTTT, Zapier, Home Assistant, or your own script. - Templates. Build the title and body from the payload your service sends. - Conditions. Notify only when it matters, like status == "error" or price > 50000. - Channels and subscriptions. Share a channel with your team; everyone picks their own urgency. - Direct keys. Fire a one-off alert without setting up a channel. WHO IT'S FOR On-call developers watching servers, deploys, and CI.

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.
