Some notifications can't wait: the doorbell camera at 2 a.m., a production page, a message from someone who needs you. On iPhone they arrive as the same quiet banner as everything else, and you find them hours later. Hotline turns the notifications you choose into real alarms. They're loud and full screen, and they ring through Silent mode and Focus, just like the Clock app. HOW IT WORKS In the Shortcuts app, add one automation: "When I receive a notification from" the apps you care about, then the "Send to Hotline" action. You set this up once. In Hotline, make channels with rules: an app, a person, a word or pattern, or a call that's ringing right now. Matching notifications ring your iPhone like an alarm. Everything else stays a quiet banner. RULES THAT FIT YOUR LIFE • Ring when Mom calls, while the phone is still ringing, even on Silent • Ring for a doorbell, a production page, or a message containing "urgent" • Plain words or regular expressions, matched against the sender, title and body • Only at certain times, like nights or weekdays • Only when an alert repeats, like 3 times in 10 minutes • A cooldown so one event doesn't set off several alarms • Preview which recent notifications a channel would have rung for, and why EVERY CHANNEL, YOUR WAY • Ring immediately, or count down first so you can cancel from the Lock Screen • Snooze, or ring again every few minutes until you stop it • A sound for each channel, or your own from Files with Hotline Pro • Start from templates, or turn any notification into a channel • Weekly stats on what Hotline received and rang • A color for each channel • Show the notification's text on the alarm, or keep it private • Turn a channel off without touching your automation BUILT TO BE TRUSTED • Test any channel with one tap • History shows every notification Hotline received and what it did • No account, no server, no tracking. Everything stays on your iPhone TRY IT FREE Your first 3 real alarms are free, so you can check that your setup works. After that, a one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks Hotline forever: unlimited alarms, your own alarm sounds and more History. It's shared with your family, and there's no subscription. Ringing for notifications needs iOS 27. On iOS 26, other Shortcuts automations can trigger channels. Hotline only sees notifications from the apps you select in your automation.
