PushWard Team

Live Activities and alerts for your whole team

One organization account sends to every member's iPhone, iPad and Mac. Members join with their own Apple ID, and you decide who gets which deploy, incident or on-call page.

Free for 14 days with up to 5 members. No card required.

For teams that keep things running

Anything that can call a webhook or run a script can reach the right phones.

  • On-call

    Page the on-call group with a critical alert that can sound through silent mode, and leave everyone else's phone alone.

  • Deploys and CI

    A release runs as a Live Activity on the Lock Screen of the people shipping it, from build to rollout, instead of a chat channel full of bot messages.

  • Operations

    Backups, queues and incident timelines on the devices that need them, including the shared iPad on the office wall.

How members join

Nobody shares a login, and members install nothing but the PushWard app.

  1. Create the organization

    Ask for early access first. Once it is on for your account, sign in with Apple at console.pushward.app and create the organization; the 14-day trial starts then.

  2. Invite people

    An invite is a link for one person or several, with a role and an expiry date.

  3. Members join from their iPhone

    They open the link and sign in with the Apple ID they use in PushWard. The organization's ongoing Live Activities start on their devices at once.

  4. Send with an organization key

    Use it like any other hlk_ key, from curl, the CLI, the GitHub Action or the relay. Routing decides who gets each send.

Decide who gets what

All of it is managed in the web console, and the trial includes every part.

  • Groups and device tags

    Put people in groups such as oncall or backend, and tag single devices, such as wall for the iPad in the office.

  • Routing rules

    Ordered rules match activity slugs and notification sources and pick the groups and tags that receive them. A change also applies to Live Activities that are already running.

  • Targeting per send

    Narrow one notification or Live Activity to some groups, tags or members, within what the rules allow.

  • Keys limited to groups

    Give a team a key that sends only inside its own groups and tags, and only sees the activities sent there.

  • Audit log

    Every change made in the console is recorded, with who made it and when.

  • Email from the organization

    Send transactional email to recipients the organization manages. Each one confirms their address before the first message.

  • Members stay in control

    Each member picks which of their devices take part, mutes what they do not need and can leave the organization at any time.

Pricing

A seat is a person, not a device. Prices are in US dollars, and Paddle adds VAT or sales tax at checkout where it applies.

What the organization can see

Members see this before they join, and again under My devices in the console.

It can see

Each member's name in the app and their role, and for each of their devices: its name and model, the OS and PushWard app version, when it was last active and whether notifications are allowed.

It cannot see

A member's location, their Apple ID email address, or the Live Activities, notifications, widgets and keys of their personal PushWard account.

Frequently asked questions

  • What counts as a seat?

    One member: a person who joins with their own Apple ID. Devices are not counted. A subscription starts at 3 seats.

  • How many devices can a member use?

    The organization's sends reach every device signed in to the member's PushWard account, unless they switch a device off under My devices. A paid seat comes with the PushWard Plan, which allows up to 10 devices; during the trial each member keeps the limit of their own plan.

  • What happens when the trial ends?

    Nothing is charged. The organization becomes read-only and its API keys stop sending until someone subscribes. If nobody does within 30 days, the organization and its data are deleted.

  • What happens if we cancel?

    Everything keeps working until the end of the period you paid for. Then the organization becomes read-only, its keys stop sending and members lose the PushWard Plan that came with their seat. 60 days later the organization and its data are deleted, unless you subscribe again before then.

  • Who bills us?

    Paddle.com, our reseller and merchant of record. Paddle takes the payment, issues the invoice and handles VAT and sales tax, and its buyer terms cover the purchase. You buy and manage the subscription in the console; nothing is sold in the iOS app.

  • Can we change the number of seats?

    Yes, at any time in the console. Seat changes are prorated over the rest of the billing period, and the minimum stays 3 seats.

  • Can we get a refund?

    Yes. Within 14 days of the first charge, write to [email protected] and the charge is refunded in full. The refund policy has the details.

  • Do members pay for the app?

    No. The app is free on the App Store, and with a paid seat the member also gets the PushWard Plan for as long as they hold the seat.
