Status Notifier is a real-time broadcast tool for teams and families. An Admin sends updates that appear as a floating screen overlay on members' devices, allowing them to stay informed while multitasking. 100% Customizable: You define the legends. Pick any color and any letter to represent your status (e.g., Red/T for Traffic, Green/A for Available). Perfect for logistics, dispatch, or family communication. Eliminate "where are you?" texts with a lightweight, privacy-focused overlay.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Costas, the maker behind Status Notifier.
I built this app because I was frustrated with the constant "check-call" friction in team and family coordination. Whether it’s a dispatcher texting a driver "Are you at the dock?" or a family member wondering "Is now a good time to call?" while you're busy or driving, these small interruptions add up.
Most communication tools are too "noisy", you have to stop what you're doing, open an app, and type. I wanted something passive.
The approach:
Instead of another chat app, I focused on a Floating Screen Overlay. It allows members to see the Admin’s status (completely customized with colors and letters) without ever leaving the app they are currently using, like GPS or a work dashboard.
What I’d love to hear from you:
1. Does the overlay feel like a better solution for multitasking than standard notifications?
2. The app is 100% customizable, what’s a use case I haven't thought of yet?
I’m here all day to answer your questions and listen to your feedback. Thanks for checking it out! 🚀
