Notify! app icon

Know the moment anything changes.

Tickets going on sale, a price finally dropping, a backup that quietly stopped running. Notify! watches a website or an RSS feed and tells you, usually within minutes. Same for scripts, servers, or cron jobs.

Why Notify!

Everything runs and stays on your device.

Four ways to watch the web, from a one-tap local watch to a developer-grade push API. Pick what fits, mix as you like.

monitoring

Watch Websites

No infrastructure required. Watch any website right on your iOS or macOS device.

  • Monitor any website directly from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac
  • No accounts, no cloud sync, no backend. Your data never leaves your device
  • Notifications are generated entirely on-device for complete privacy
rss_feed

Follow Any Feed

Paste a site address and Notify! finds the feed it links to. Every new post becomes a notification.

  • RSS, Atom and JSON Feed, found from a plain site address when the site links to it
  • Only genuinely new items notify you, so a republished post stays quiet
  • Checked on device alongside your other watches, with the same privacy
dns

Connect to a Server

Power users can pair Notify! with ChangeDetection.io for advanced monitoring:

  • Flexible scheduling and scanning
  • Long-term change history
  • Live updates with push notifications via Notify!
  • Works with both remote and self-hosted instances
notifications_active

Notifications Only

Skip the watches and just receive pushes. Notify! accepts alerts triggered by your own scripts or applications: backend tasks, cron jobs, or internal workflows, delivered instantly to your iPhone, iPad, and Mac via a simple API.

Background Refresh

Built by developers, for developers. Notify! quietly re-checks your watches in the background and pushes alerts the moment something changes, so you stay current without lifting a finger.

  • Local notifications with zero delay
  • Home screen widgets for quick visibility
  • Group notifications to all your devices at once
Included, at no cost

The advanced parts, without hosting anything.

Watching a page happens on your device and never leaves it. A few things cannot work that way, because something has to be listening while your phone is asleep. Those run on Notify!'s servers, free, with nothing to host and nothing to sign up for.

cloud_sync

Seamless Device Migration

Never miss a beat when switching devices. Notify! uses iCloud Keychain to sync your configuration across all your Apple devices. Upgrade your iPhone, add an iPad or Mac, and your watches and settings transfer automatically.

devices

Group Notifications

Send notifications to all your Apple devices at once. Perfect for teams, families, or anyone with multiple Apple devices. One API call can alert your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and every connected device at the same time.

history

Optional Notification History

Track server-delivered alerts and device group notifications from our API. Search, filter, and analyze your history to spot patterns and never lose an important alert. Privacy first: no private data is ever uploaded to our servers.

timer

Live Activities

Watch a job finish without opening anything. A live tile on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island updates itself in place, with a status, a progress bar, and a countdown. Ideal for anything with a duration: a build, a backup, a delivery, a wash cycle. Drive it from a script or from Zapier and Make.

sensors

Beacons

Monitoring in reverse: hear about it when something stops. Point a cron job, backup script, or automation at a beacon's ping URL. If the pings stop arriving, Notify! tells you, which is the one failure a normal alert can never report, because nothing is left running to send it.

notifications_active Never Miss a Change

  • Local notifications with zero delay
  • Home screen widgets for quick visibility
  • Detailed change history with side-by-side comparisons
  • Real-time alerts when paired with ChangeDetection.io or your own scripts
  • Full notification history: review and search every past alert
  • Group notifications to multiple devices simultaneously

New · For Mac

Turn alerts into actions with Notify Listener for Mac.

A free companion Mac app that receives your Notify! alerts natively and can run a local script the moment a matching notification arrives. Built for automation, ops, and home-lab workflows.

terminal

Notifications that do something

Map an incoming alert to a local script with a simple rule builder: match on the message, choose a script, and optionally confirm before it runs. A monitoring alert can kick off a remediation script; a webhook can trigger a build or a backup.

desktop_mac

Your alerts, natively on your Mac

It is its own standalone device: join mixed groups alongside your iPhones, or send straight to your Mac with its own webhook. Even people without an iPhone can receive Notify! alerts.

bolt

Lightweight and private

Lives in the menu bar and checks for new alerts on a schedule, with no always-open connection, so it works happily behind a firewall or NAT. Notarized, and it keeps itself up to date automatically.

qr_code_2

Set up in seconds

Registers itself on launch. Join a group by pasting a token, scanning a QR code, or letting an owner scan your Mac. Build and send a test notification right from the app.

Get Notify Listener for Mac.

Free, and a quick direct download. Requires the same Notify! backend your iPhone already uses.

New · For TRMNL

Your notifications, on the wall.

Every other integration points the same way: something happens, Notify! sends a push. The TRMNL plugin runs the other direction. It takes your notification history and puts it on an e-ink dashboard you can read from across the room, with no screen to unlock and nothing to check.

dashboard

The last dozen alerts, at a glance

Each row shows when it arrived, who sent it, the title and message, and where it came from. Anything that failed to deliver is marked, so a quiet dashboard means quiet for the right reason.

dashboard_customize

Fits whatever slot you give it

Four layouts from the same data: a full 800×480 screen with about twelve rows, a half strip, a tall column, or a quadrant showing a count and the newest headline. Put it beside your calendar and weather, or give it the whole display.

image

Sender icons, legible across the room

The same custom icons your notifications carry are reduced to high-contrast line art, so a GitHub alert still looks like GitHub from across the room rather than a row of identical dots.

visibility

It tells you when it cannot see

If the credentials stop working, the screen says so in words instead of going blank or quietly showing yesterday. A dashboard that fails silently is worse than no dashboard.

Add Notify! to your TRMNL.

Install from the TRMNL plugin marketplace, then paste the Device ID and Token from the app. That is the whole setup.

New · Now on Chrome and Android

No iPhone? No problem.

The Notify! web app turns a browser into a device. Open it once, click allow, and that browser gets its own webhook URL, the same URL contract every iPhone gets.

  • androidAndroid
  • desktop_windowsWindows
  • computerLinux
  • laptop_chromebookChromeOS
  • laptop_macmacOS

Anywhere Chrome or Edge runs. Firefox and Safari 16+ work too. On iPhone and iPad, the app is the better answer.

notifications_active

Real pushes, browser closed

Delivery rides the same push service your browser already uses, so notifications arrive even with the tab closed. Nothing to install on desktop; on Android it adds to your home screen like an app.

webhook

Same webhook, new screen

Everything that already talks to Notify! just works: Zapier, Make, Homebridge, beacons, plain curl. Senders cannot even tell it is a browser on the other end, with one honest exception: Live Activities stay an iPhone and iPad feature, and starting one on a browser says so.

history

History, right there

The web app shows the notifications this browser has received, with sender icons and failure marks, and fetches fresh entries every time you open it.

group

Joins your Device Groups

Paste a group token and the browser receives everything the group receives, right beside the iPhones and Macs already in it. One alert, every screen you own.

Open the web app.

One click to allow notifications, and the browser is a device with its own webhook URL. No account, no app store, nothing to configure.
