Some notifications can't afford to be missed. A silent banner is not enough when your glucose is dropping at 3 AM, your doorbell rings while you're asleep, your server goes down over the weekend, or your trade alert fires overnight. NotiAlarm turns those notifications into real alarms — looping sound and vibration that keep going until you dismiss them. HOW IT WORKS • Any app on your iPhone — with iOS 27, a one-time Shortcuts automation hands NotiAlarm the notifications you pick: Messages from Mom, your bank, your doorbell, a game's raid alert. They ring right on your phone. • Any service that can send a webhook or an email — NotiAlarm gives you a private URL and email address. Most sources set themselves up right inside the app, with every step highlighted. Either way, every alert rings your phone like an alarm clock, not a notification. WORKS WITH — 29 sources • Your iPhone — notifications from any app, and Calendar events • Health & Safety — Nightscout CGM glucose alarms, Oura, medical-alert caregiver emails • Home & Security — Ring, Home Assistant (SimpliSafe, Nest, Eufy and more), IFTTT cameras & sensors, temperature monitors (MarCELL, Temp Stick), LoJack car tracking • Servers & DevOps — Grafana, Sentry, Healthchecks.io, UptimeRobot, GitHub, Datadog • Trading & Markets — TradingView, thinkorswim, Robinhood, Fidelity, E*TRADE, Coinbase, DeFi liquidation alerts • Business & Payments — Stripe, bank alerts (Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Capital One), Zillow listing alerts • Anything else — email alerts, IFTTT, custom webhooks, and Broadcast: ring the people you share with, from your phone Each source's setup guide is built into the app, with honest notes about what each integration can and can't do. ALARMS, NOT NOTIFICATIONS • Built on iOS's own alarm system — rings through silent mode, Focus and Low Power Mode, even when the app is closed • Looping sound and vibration until YOU dismiss — no auto-timeout • Your own alarm sounds — upload audio or pull the soundtrack from a video • Dismissal challenges (math, pattern, sentence) so you're actually awake • Filters — ring for exactly the alerts you care about BUILT FOR SHARING AND RELIABILITY • Share a source with family or teammates — you choose which alarms they get, and everyone's phone rings at the same moment • Missed-alarm review — anything that fired while your phone was off is waiting for you • Widgets, Apple Watch and Mac controls Requires iOS 26.1 or later. Phone notifications require iOS 27. Free to start — connect your first source in under two minutes.
