Island Pulse - Live Updates - Turn any Webhook into Live Activity & Dynamic Island updates

Island Pulse transforms your webhooks into real-time iOS Live Activities and Dynamic Island updates. Stop checking Slack or email for status pings; now you can track GitHub Actions, server deploys, smart home triggers, or custom scripts directly from your Lock Screen. Simply send a JSON POST to your unique endpoint to trigger a persistent visual update. It’s the easiest way for developers and power users to bridge the gap between backend events and the iPhone’s most visible UI.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m the maker of Island Pulse. I’m a big fan of the Dynamic Island, but I noticed it was mostly being used by big apps for food delivery or flight tracking. I wanted that same real-time visibility for my own data—server deploys, GitHub Actions, and custom automation scripts—without having to build a dedicated iOS app for every single project. Island Pulse is the bridge. It gives you a unique HTTPS endpoint that accepts simple JSON. When you push to it, your iPhone instantly triggers a Live Activity. It’s built for: Developers: Track CI/CD pipelines or cron jobs without checking terminal/email. Solopreneurs: Get a 'Pulse' for every new sale or lead in real-time. Power Users: Use it with Zapier, Make, or Apple Shortcuts to monitor... well, anything. Why use this over a standard push notification? Standard notifications disappear into the Notification Center. A 'Pulse' lives on your Lock Screen and in your Dynamic Island, keeping critical info 'glanceable' until the job is actually done. I’ve focused on making it as lightweight and privacy-conscious as possible. I’m excited to see the creative ways you all use these endpoints! I’ll be hanging out here all day to answer questions, hear your feedback, and take feature requests. Happy pulsing! 🏝️
