Web Live Activities
Read full descriptionHide full description
Web Live Activities brings real-time updates to the places you actually look: the Lock Screen, the Dynamic Island, and the Apple Watch Smart Stack. Start a Live Activity and watch it update live, an order on its way, a score changing, a countdown ticking down, a status moving forward, without unlocking your phone or opening an app. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK ⢠Progress: orders, deliveries, rides, downloads, and multi-step tasks, shown as a bar or a clear step-by-step checklist. ⢠Versus: two sides with live scores and logos for games, matches, and auctions. ⢠Countdown: a clock that ticks down on your device to a launch, a drop, or a kickoff. ⢠Picture: a photo-forward card for arrivals, listings, and live moments. HOW IT WORKS Tap a "Track with Live Activity" button on a participating website, scan a QR code, or pick a featured example right inside the app. The Live Activity appears on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island in seconds and keeps itself up to date. Turn any activity on or off whenever you like. FOR DEVELOPERS Add native iOS Live Activities to your product straight from your backend with a few HTTP calls. Start an activity, update it as things change, and end it when the job is done, and it renders natively on your users' devices. Group your users, send quiet or alerting updates, and keep long-running activities alive. Full documentation is built into the app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No tracking, no ads, and no account required. We use an anonymous identifier only to deliver the Live Activities you choose to receive, and you can clear everything from the app at any time. See our Privacy Policy for the details. Install once, and the apps and sites that support Web Live Activities can keep you updated at a glance.

Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini are trademarks of their respective owners. ⢠These aren't official integrations, so a change on a service's side may briefly stop them from working. We'll fix issues as quickly as we can. ⢠Claude requires signing in again about once a month. ⢠Requires iOS 16 or later. Some widgets require iOS 17 or later. Contact: sioninzion918@gmail.com
