One tap. Everyone knows. PingRoom turns moments that matter into Pings people can see, hear, and act on immediately. Create a room, invite your people by code, link, or QR, then tap once to notify everyone at the same time. No noisy thread. No unread pileup. No wondering whether the important part got buried. Chat is for talking. PingRoom is for knowing. SEND A PING IN SECONDS • Set up reusable Quick Pings for the moments you repeat. • Customize text, emoji, sound, color, and links. • Add a photo, file, or place when the Ping needs context. • Use Private, Public, and Personal rooms for family, friends, roommates, teams, communities, and events. • Organize rooms with folders. • Join with a code, link, or QR. Explore without signing in. • Create rooms and Quick Pings from ready-made templates. KNOW. ACT. DONE. Ask a Question with two to four options. Members can answer from the Lock Screen or the room; the first response decides and the result updates for everyone. Use an Urgent Ping when delivery is time-sensitive. Use a Confirmation Ping when you need to know someone acted. Choose either one, or combine them. Create a live update for a status, steps, progress, metrics, countdown, decision, or matchup. Update it as the event unfolds and keep the latest state visible in the room, on the Lock Screen, and in the Dynamic Island. LET THE ROOM PING ITSELF With PingRoom Pro, rooms can Ping from a place, a schedule, or another app. PingRoom saves the place and radius so the automation can sync. Your phone evaluates arrivals and departures, then sends the trigger event so PingRoom can tell it entered or exited that area. It does not send a live GPS sample or travel path. A place is shared only when you attach it to a Ping. Schedule a Ping for a date or repeat it on the days you choose. Connect webhooks so apps, services, and automations can Ping a room when something happens. BUILT FOR APPLE DEVICES • Send and receive Pings on iPhone and Apple Watch. • Answer Questions and confirm Pings from Apple Watch. • Use the interactive Smart Stack widget for Quick Pings. • Add Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets and a Control Center control. • Use Siri and Shortcuts. • Trigger Pings with NFC tags and personal automations. YOUR PERSONAL ROOM Share your Personal Room link or QR so people can reach you without sharing your phone number or starting another chat. Choose who can Ping you, add private notes to connections, and use Pro insights and custom QR designs. CONNECT APPS AND AI Pair apps and AI agents with scoped access to the rooms you choose. They can Ping you, ask a Question, or request a one-tap decision, then continue when you answer. Pings created by PingRoom AI are labeled AI-generated. Before the first transfer, you choose which model provider may receive agent data. Report unsafe output in the app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Location boundaries are evaluated on your device; the saved area and trigger event sync with PingRoom. • Rooms can be password protected. • Agent and integration access can be scoped and revoked. • We collect only the data needed to provide the service. FREE TO START Create up to five rooms, join up to 20 rooms, and keep your latest 100 Pings for free. No credit card required. PingRoom Pro adds unlimited rooms and joins, location and scheduled triggers, incoming and outgoing webhooks, photo and file attachments, password-protected rooms, external-channel forwarding, unlimited history, Personal Room insights, and custom QR designs. Make a room. Tap once. Everyone knows. PingRoom Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
