brrr vs EmitSignal

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.

EmitSignal turns anything that can make an HTTP request into a push notification on your phone. No SDK, no client library. If it can run curl, it can send a signal. Built for developers, EmitSignal lets you pipe deploys, CI results, cron jobs, server alerts, and webhooks straight from your shell to your phone. Send it once and watch it show up in real time. HOW IT WORKS Publishers send a message to a named topic. Subscribers just subscribe to that topic — no registration or setup on the publisher side. Messages arrive instantly as push notifications and in the live feed. curl -X POST https://api.emitsignal.com/publish/alerts -H "X-Title: Deploy finished" -H "X-Priority: high" -d "v2.4.0 shipped to production" WHAT YOU GET IN THE APP • Live feed — messages show up in real time over a persistent connection • Push notifications — every signal can land right on your lock screen • Topics — subscribe to any topic and organize them by project, service, or environment • Priorities — five levels, from quiet to critical, so important alerts stand out • Tags & actions — add context and interactive actions to your messages • Publish from your phone — send a signal to any topic in a couple of taps • Message history — go back and find anything you've received • Attachments — send files along with your messages • Light & dark themes — follow your system or choose one yourself INTEGRATIONS Connect the tools you already use through webhooks. EmitSignal includes ready-to-use templates for GitHub, Grafana, Stripe, and Vercel, plus a custom format for anything else. SCHEDULING Don't need to send something right away? Schedule it for later with a relative delay like 30m, 2h, or 1d, or pick an exact time. Handy for reminders, maintenance windows, and anything that needs to happen later. SIGN IN YOUR WAY Use a magic link, Apple or GitHub. Pick whatever works best for you. OPEN & SELF-HOSTABLE EmitSignal is self-hostable. Use the hosted service, or run your own instance and keep your data under your control. Stop tailing logs and refreshing dashboards just to see if something happened. Send a signal. Know when it matters.
