chegou (Portuguese for "it arrived") is the simplest way to get push notifications on your phone. No account. No dashboard. No configuration portal. Just a webhook URL.

That's it. โ€ข One URL, infinite use cases โ€” deploy alerts, server monitoring, CI results, reminders, whatever โ€ข Channels โ€” group notifications by purpose (deploys, monitoring, ci, personal) โ€ข Scheduled delivery โ€” send now, deliver later (up to 24 hours) โ€ข Custom sounds โ€” 13 built-in sounds from meow to microwave โ€ข Action buttons โ€” add tappable buttons that open URLs โ€ข Image support โ€” attach images to your notifications โ€ข On-device history โ€” all notifications stored locally, nothing on our servers โ€ข Multi-device โ€” pair multiple devices with a QR code Free forever.

bonk sends you a push notification when something on the internet needs your attention. You install the app, copy your private URL, and paste it anywhere that can make a web request. When that URL gets hit, your phone buzzes. No sign-up, no dashboard, no accounts to manage. HOW IT WORKS Open bonk. The app gives you a private URL that only you can see. Paste that URL into anything that can send a web request: a script, a build pipeline, a monitoring tool. When it runs, a notification lands on your device. WHO IT'S FOR Developers who want their own devices to know when something happened. A build finished. A server went down. A scheduled task ran. A long-running script needs a human. Anything on the internet that has news for you, for your own eyes. WHAT'S IN THE APP Your feed: every notification you've sent to yourself, newest first URLs: create, rotate, revoke; each is shown once at creation Settings: pair more of your devices, or delete your account ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Pair another iPhone, iPad, or Mac to the same account with a 6-digit code from Settings. Every notification arrives on all of them. PRIVACY No email, no password. Opening the app is the entire setup. No dashboard. Your notifications are the interface. We forward your notifications to Apple and don't store them. LIMITS 300 requests per minute per URL. Plenty for normal use. Email us if you need more.
