Download app and pair device
Download the ActivitySmith app on your iOS device and use a single button tap to pair with your account. Your device will be ready to receive notifications in seconds.
Integrate to your backend
Make API calls from any backend, cron job, or GitHub Action to send Push Notifications and start or update Live Activities.
Do I need to build my own mobile app to receive these alerts?
No, that's the best part. ActivitySmith provides a dedicated, ready-to-use iOS app. You don't have to write a single line of Swift or manage App Store submissions. Just download our app, pair your device, and start pushing alerts from your backend in minutes.
Do I need an Apple Developer account or push certificates?
No. Because you are sending alerts to the ActivitySmith app rather than your own custom app, we handle all the APNs (Apple Push Notification service) handshake. You don't need to manage certificates, identifiers, or provisioning profiles.
Can I use ActivitySmith to send notifications to my own app's users?
No. ActivitySmith is not an SDK for your own mobile apps. It's a service that lets you send notifications from any backend to the ActivitySmith iOS app.
What is the benefit of using the ActivitySmith app instead of Slack/Discord?
Standard chat apps don't support iOS Live Activities or rich push notifications. ActivitySmith allows you to have a persistent, updating widget on your Lock Screen or Dynamic Island for things like 'Server Migration Progress' or 'Build Status' that you simply can't do with a standard push notification.
