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

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 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.

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 Activity 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.

Why trust Notify!?

Built to be believed, not just believed in.

Alerts are only worth anything if they actually arrive, and if you know what happened to them. Here is what that looks like, and who has been doing it since 2008.

notifications_active Never Miss a Change

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.
