Webhook Notifier
Read full descriptionHide full description
Webhook Notifier is an alert app for engineers and operators. Point any system that can send an HTTP request at a URL the app gives you. When the URL is hit, your phone rings. Rules per webhook. Match by HTTP method, by header, or by substring or regex in the body. Alerts only fire when the request actually means something to you. Quiet hours per webhook. Pick the days and the time window when each webhook may wake you. Outside the window the alert is dropped silently. No buzz. No missed call. Bypass silent per webhook. For the alerts that genuinely cannot wait, like production outages or water leak alarms, flip the switch and the notification rings through Silent and Focus modes. This requires the Critical Alerts entitlement from Apple. Share read only. Hand the secret to a teammate and they receive every alert too. Rotate the secret when you want to revoke that. No tracking. No advertising. No analytics on the content of your webhooks. The bearer token that authenticates your device is generated on the device and only the hash is stored on the server. Built for people who already know what a webhook is.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Webhook Notifier at none against PushWard's 3. Webhook Notifier also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). PushWard's advantage is chart position (#131 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
