Notify

Turn any HTTP request into a push notification on your iPhone. Notify is a webhook-to-push tool for AI agents, scripts, automations, CI jobs, and home servers. POST a small JSON body to your personal webhook URL and your phone lights up. No account. No dashboard. No tracking. WHAT YOU GET • Personal webhook URL, generated on-device • Works with anything that can send an HTTP request: curl, Python, Bash, Node, GitHub Actions, Vercel, Netlify, n8n, Zapier, IFTTT, Home Assistant • Critical alerts that break through mute and Focus • Tappable links straight from the notification • Image attachments • Thread IDs to group related alerts • Badge counts and custom sounds • On-device notification history. Nothing stored on the backend. BUILT FOR AGENTS If you run AI agents (Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Copilot, custom bots), Notify tells you the second they need you. • "Agent finished the task." • "Build failed, here's the log." • "Deploy is live." • "Long run is waiting for your input." Send a POST, get a notification on every device signed into your iCloud. FOCUS FRIENDLY Focus filters let you decide which alerts come through when. Work notifications during Work Focus. Critical alerts always. Everything else paused until you're back. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your webhook secret is generated on-device and stored in the iCloud Keychain. We store only what's needed to route notifications through Apple Push Notification Service. Message content is not logged server-side. Notification history stays on your phone. WHO IT'S FOR Developers, SREs, people running agents locally, indie hackers watching uptime, home-lab operators, anyone who wants a simple curl -X POST to light up their Lock Screen. If you want a dashboard packed with 40 settings you'll never touch, this isn't for you. If you want a clean webhook that just works, welcome.
