Waiting for a trade to set up? Worried about someone and need to know the second something's wrong? Waiting on an email you can't miss? Keep missing calendar events? NotiAlarm turns the alerts that matter into real alarms that ring through silent mode until you stop them. HOW IT WORKS • Direct connection: any service that can send a webhook or an email gets its own private URL and email address. Most sources set up inside the app. • Push notifications: with iOS 27, pick an app and a one-time Shortcuts automation passes its notifications to NotiAlarm. A text from your mom, your bank or a game's raid alert can ring right on your phone. SOURCES • Trading and markets: TradingView, TrendSpider, Polymarket (checked every minute), thinkorswim, Robinhood, Fidelity, E*TRADE, Coinbase, Cryptocurrency Alerting and DeFi liquidation alerts • Family, health and safety: heart rate monitors (Bluetooth straps or Apple Watch), Nightscout CGM glucose alarms, medical alert buttons (Medical Guardian, LifeStation), IamResponding fire and EMS dispatch, Nixle local alerts • Email: alert emails from any service, on any email provider • Your iPhone: Calendar events, Alarm Clock alarms and notifications from your other apps • Home and security: Ring, Home Assistant (SimpliSafe, Nest, Eufy and more), temperature monitors (MarCELL, Temp Stick), PumpSpy sump pumps, LoJack car tracking • Servers and DevOps: Grafana, Sentry, Healthchecks.io, UptimeRobot, GitHub, Datadog, Cloudflare, Uptime Kuma, Prometheus Alertmanager, Checkly • Business and payments: Stripe, bank alerts (Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Capital One), Zillow listing alerts • Anything else: custom webhooks, PageCrawl page changes (campsites, appointments, restocks) and Broadcast to ring everyone you share with from your phone ALARMS THAT KEEP RINGING • NotiAlarm uses the iPhone's own alarm system. Alarms ring through silent mode and Focus, including in Low Power Mode and with the app closed. • Sound and vibration loop until you dismiss the alarm. • With Pro, pick from 13 loud alarm sounds or upload your own audio or a video's soundtrack. • Wake-up challenges (math, pattern or a sentence) must be completed to stop the alarm. • Filters pick which alerts ring and which stay quiet. SHARE AND STAY IN SYNC • Share a source with one link. Everyone who joins rings at the same moment. • Dismiss an alarm on one device and your other devices stop ringing. • Missed alarms wait for you if your phone was off or in Quiet Hours. • Also runs on iPad and Apple Watch. Widgets and Mac controls switch alarms on and off. • One subscription covers every device you sign in on. HEART RATE AND APPLE HEALTH NotiAlarm reads only your live heart rate from Apple Health, and only while a heart rate alarm is monitoring. Readings stay on your device and are never stored by us. Requires iOS 26.1 or later (iOS 27 for push notifications) and an internet connection. NotiAlarm is not a medical device and not an emergency service. Keep your CGM app, medical alert service and other primary alarms switched on, and call your local emergency number in an emergency. Free to start. Connect your first source in two minutes. SUBSCRIPTION NotiAlarm is free with one connected source, one alarm and the default alarm sound. NotiAlarm Pro adds unlimited sources and alarms, Polymarket whale alarms, 13 loud alarm sounds and your own sound uploads.
