API-native alerts for iOS

PING

Send notifications, actions, and Live Activities to your iPhone from one simple endpoint. Keep scripts, deploys, renders, and automations visible without babysitting a terminal.

POST a message Plaintext works.

Attach context Titles, links, media, urgency.

Track progress Start, update, and end Live Activities.

Built for people who automate

One endpoint for the things worth noticing.

No client SDK required

Copy your personal endpoint from the app and call it from shell, Python, cron, CI, or any webhook-capable system.

Alerts can do more

Add actions, callbacks, URLs, threads, urgency, media, and badges when a plain push notification is not enough.

Progress stays alive

Turn long-running work into a Live Activity with a status label, progress value, icon, and tap-through URL.

Quick start

Your notification is one request away.

PING accepts structured JSON for rich alerts and Live Activity updates, or plaintext when you just want a message on your phone.
