The person behind ActivitySmith

Adam Bardon

I'm Adam Bardon. I've worked as a professional iOS developer for over eight years.

I got curious about Live Activities on iOS and wanted to see if I could make them work through an API. That experiment became ActivitySmith. I use it every day across my projects, including ActivitySmith itself. I still build and run it independently.

You can find me on X or email me at [email protected].

How it works

Make an account and pair your iPhone or iPad. Send updates through the API, an SDK, or the MCP server. You can also use integrations such as GitHub, Vercel, and Sentry.
