Getting started

Pocketbell delivers alerts from anything that can make an HTTP request to the Apple devices you are signed in on.

1. Install Pocketbell on your iPhone, iPad or Mac and sign in with Apple.
2. Create a Source for whatever will send alerts: a server, a script, a service. Each Source has its own API key.
3. Send a message with that key. It arrives within seconds.

Next: Send a notification.

A notification can also ask, with buttons that send the answer back: see Questions. If you use an AI coding agent, you can answer Claude Code’s permission prompts from your phone.
