HookBell turns webhooks into push notifications on your phone. No code, no Slack bots. Just paste a URL and get real-time alerts when something important happens in your app. WHAT IT DOES Every time a customer signs up, makes a payment, books a meeting, or churns, HookBell sends a push notification to your phone with the details, in plain English. Instead of raw JSON: {"type": "invoice.paid", "data": {"amount": 2900}} You get: "Invoice paid: $29.00 from customer@example.com" HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a connection in HookBell 2. Copy the webhook URL 3. Paste it into your service's webhook settings 4. Done. Notifications start arriving instantly Setup takes less than a minute per service. No SDK, no config files, no polling.

Screenshot the profile before you reply. GhostCheck checks the photo and scans the text for scam patterns โ€” on your phone. No account, no upload. WHAT IT CHECKS โ€ข Face โ€” whether a face is visible, how clearly it was captured, how much of the frame it fills โ€ข Image โ€” whether the picture is large enough to judge, or a small re-shared copy โ€ข Text โ€” the profile's own words, for the patterns behind romance and crypto scams: being pushed to Telegram or WhatsApp, talk of investing or payment apps, paid-content links You get a risk score from 0 to 100 and the warning signs behind it. HOW TO USE IT 1. Screenshot the whole profile, bio text included โ€” the text scan is the strongest check 2. Open the share sheet 3. Tap GhostCheck Or pick a screenshot from inside the app. FREE AND PRO You get 2 free checks every week, with the full result โ€” score, every warning sign, and every check the photo passed. GhostCheck Pro removes the limit: unlimited checks, weekly, monthly or yearly. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE GhostCheck uses Apple's own on-device Vision framework. Your photos are never uploaded, never stored on a server, and never seen by anyone. No account, no sign-up, no tracking. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO GhostCheck looks at how a photo was taken โ€” not who is in it. A stolen photo of a real person can still pass every check. GhostCheck is not a lie detector and it cannot prove who anyone is. If something still feels off, ask for a live video call. Subscription: payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically for the same price and period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Settings.
