Right now, your app's news is scattered
Most builders stitch something together. It works for a week, then it becomes noise.
A Telegram or Discord bot
You wrote it and you keep it running. Every event is a plain line of text in one long chat, with nothing grouped.
Email filters
Payment receipts land between newsletters and invoices. You see them hours later, if you see them at all.
A busy Slack channel
The alerts channel gets muted by day three. The one error that mattered scrolls past with everything else.
Checking dashboards by hand
You open payments, logs and analytics several times a day, just to learn that nothing happened.
tinyping replaces all four with one push alert per event and one inbox to look back at.
Three steps from event to phone
No SDK to install. If your code can make an HTTP request, it can send to tinyping.
- 1
Create a project
Each project gets its own private token. Nobody can read or post to it by guessing a name.
- 2
Send an event
One POST from your backend, a cron job, a shell script or a webhook tool.
- 3
Get it on your phone
Add tinyping to your home screen, allow notifications, and every event arrives as a push alert.
Example request
curl -X POST https://tinyping.app/api/v1/projects/YOUR_PROJECT_ID/events \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer tp_YOUR_TOKEN' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{

How tinyping compares
Good tools exist. Here is where each one leaves a gap for builders who want alerts about their own app.
| Tool | Price | Where it falls short |
|---|---|---|
| tinyping | Free, or Pro at $5 a month | Push first, private projects and a grouped, searchable inbox. Connectors are coming soon. |
| Telegram or Discord bot | Free | Do it yourself to build and maintain. Noisy, with no grouping. |
| ntfy | Free, Pro about $10 to $12 a month | Plain alerts. On the hosted server, topics are public by name. |
| Pushover | One-time fee per platform | Dated look, no grouped history. |
| LogSnag | Free up to 2,500 events a month, paid from $16 a month billed yearly | Higher starting price and built around analytics. |
