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.

Calculate IPv4 subnets from your wrist. Enter an IP address, choose a CIDR prefix, and instantly see the network address, subnet mask, usable host range, broadcast address, wildcard mask, host count, suggested gateway, and whether the address is usable, reserved, a network ID, or a broadcast address. Use the This Watch tool to detect your watch’s current Wi-Fi or LTE IPv4 address and calculate the subnet it is connected to. Quickly confirm the network, mask, broadcast address, usable range, and address role without reaching for a laptop. Plan networks with built-in admin tools: • VLSM subnet planner • DHCP scope planner • VLAN planning notes • Previous and next subnet navigation • Second-IP subnet membership checker • Saved subnet plans • Router, switch, static device, and change-ticket templates • Common port reference • Private, loopback, APIPA, multicast, and reserved range reference • IPv6 prefix calculator • DNS A/AAAA lookup • Binary and hexadecimal subnet math logs • TXT, CSV, Markdown, and JSON export sharing Zero Network Tools is useful for network admins, field technicians, homelab builders, IT students, cybersecurity learners, and anyone who works with routers, switches, VLANs, DHCP scopes, servers, printers, cameras, IoT devices, or static IP assignments. Cool things you can do: Check if an IP is safe to assign Find out if an address is a broadcast address Detect the subnet your watch is currently using Build DHCP scopes after reserved infrastructure addresses Plan VLANs and document gateway settings Generate device registration notes Compare binary and hexadecimal subnet math Look up common service ports like SSH, FTP, NFS, NNTP, DNS, DHCP, RDP, VPN, and more Resolve DNS records from your watch Export subnet records for tickets, documentation, or sharing Built for quick checks, real network work, and learning subnet math anywhere.
