KumaAlert - Uptime Kuma in your pocket KumaAlert is a native app for keeping an eye on your Uptime Kuma servers from your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. It stays quiet until something needs you, then makes sure you know. Connect one server or a dozen, see everything at a glance, and get alerted the moment a monitor goes down. When something breaks, you can acknowledge or snooze it right from the notification, a widget, your watch, or the app. Know the moment something breaks • Push alerts when a monitor goes down, and again when it recovers, with how long it was out • Set each monitor to Info, Warning, or Critical. Critical alerts can break through silent mode and repeat until you acknowledge them • A per-monitor alert delay so brief blips don't wake you • Send a real test alert to check your sounds and settings work Handle outages anywhere • An Incidents tab with active outages pinned up top, live downtime timers, and Acknowledge and Snooze on each • Downtime totals, mean time to recovery, and your flakiest monitor across 7, 30, or 90 days • Live Activities that put an ongoing outage on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • A full Apple Watch app that works even with your iPhone off, with complications for your watch face • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets that surface only what's down when it matters Built for real infrastructure • Drag to arrange monitors and move them between folders, with changes synced back to Uptime Kuma itself • One-tap push setup, where KumaAlert creates the alert webhook for you • Maintenance windows, Kiosk mode for a wall-mounted iPad, Siri, and Shortcuts • iPad-native layout, plus Sign in with Apple and end-to-end encrypted sync so the server only ever sees ciphertext One-time purchase. No subscriptions. No tracking. Requires a self-hosted Uptime Kuma server.
