30-second install

Two commands. One buzz.

Install the iOS app, tap Sign in with Apple, then run these in your terminal. The CLI logs you in via the browser — no copy-pasting API keys.

terminal

$ brew install nodkit
$ nodkit login
$ nodkit send "Hello from your terminal"
# → your phone buzzes

Inspiration

Wire one up for anything.

A few of the things people trigger. CLI for your machine, API for your servers — same notification on the same phone.

Use cases

If your code knows,
you should too.

Add one HTTP call to any workflow. Real examples below.

CI / CD

Know when your deploy lands

Add a step to your GitHub Action. Get a push notification the second your deploy succeeds — no more watching CI logs.

.github/workflows/deploy.yml

name: Deploy
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - run: npm run build && npm run deploy

      - name: Notify me
        run: |
          curl -X POST https://api.nodkit.dev/api/send \
            -H "Authorization: Bearer ${{ secrets.NK_KEY }}" \
            -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
            -d '{"title":"Deploy complete","body":"v2.4.1 is live","group":"deploys"}'

Monitoring

Get alerted before your users do

A simple Python script on a cron. When CPU spikes, memory leaks, or your API goes down — your phone buzzes immediately.

monitor.py

import psutil, requests, os

cpu = psutil.cpu_percent(interval=10)

if cpu > 90:
    requests.post(
        "https://api.nodkit.dev/api/send",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['NK_KEY']}"},
        json={
            "title": f"CPU spike on prod-2",
            "body": f"{cpu}% for 10s",
            "priority": "high",
            "group": "alerts",
        }
    )

AI agents

Know when Claude finishes

Long agent loops can run for minutes. Wire nodkit into your Claude Code Stop hook and your phone buzzes the moment it's done — or needs your input.

~/.claude/settings.json

// ~/.claude/settings.json
{
  "hooks": {
    "Stop": [{
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": "nodkit send 'Claude finished' --group agents"
      }]
    }]
  }
}

FAQ

The four questions
you're actually asking.

Why not just use Slack or Discord webhooks?

Slack is built for teams — your channels get muted, your DMs get noisy, and your phone stops buzzing the moment you join more than three workspaces. nodkit goes straight to your lock screen, every time, with zero team overhead.

What happens if I hit the free limit?

Notifications stop until the next month. We never auto-charge you, never prompt you to add a card, and never silently overage-bill. If you want more, you upgrade on purpose.

Is my notification data private?

Notifications are stored only as long as needed for delivery and your in-app history. Sign in with Apple keeps your email private. We don't sell data, train models on it, or share it with advertisers.

What about Android?

iOS only at launch. Android is on the roadmap once the iOS app is stable. The HTTP API doesn't care which phone you have — when the Android app ships, the same curl command will work.
