Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm thrilled to share Notify! with you today. What started as a personal need has turned into something used by over 2,000 people daily, and I couldn't be more grateful.
As a solo developer, I was tired of the complexity around website monitoring. Every solution required signing up for services, managing servers, or trusting my data to third parties. I just wanted to know when a website changed—simple as that. So I built Notify! for myself, running everything locally on my iPhone with zero external dependencies.
The magic moment came when I realized I could leverage the power of modern Apple devices to do all the monitoring work locally. No servers to maintain, no subscriptions to manage, no privacy concerns. Just pure, simple monitoring that works.
But here's where it got interesting: I also needed to receive notifications from my various scripts and backend services. So I added a dead-simple webhook API. Now my cron jobs, deployment scripts, and web apps can all send push notifications directly to my devices with a single line of code.
What makes me proudest is seeing how the community has embraced this approach. Developers use it for deployment or build notifications, shoppers track price changes, and everyday users keep tabs on their favorite websites—all without compromising their privacy or dealing with complex setups.
After months of refinement based on user feedback, Notify! now includes visual change detection, RSS feed monitoring, device groups (send one notification to all your Apple devices!), and optional integrations with services like ChangeDetection.io, Zapier and Make for those who want them. Also we support the iOS conversation UI for threading messages!
I'm here to answer questions and would love to hear how you might use Notify! in your workflows. Thank you for checking it out! 🚀
