Hi everyone!

After loads of interest, we've now made KumaAlert for Android and opening up to Beta Testers in the coming week.

If you're interested then please head to: https://kumaalert.app/beta-android/ - We have limited spaces for the beta phase.

We're asking users to join the Discord so that we can actively collaborate on this next stage of KumaAlert, so unfortunately that is a hard restriction - if you can't join, don't worry - we'll be bringing KumaAlert to the public release as soon as possible!

As a way of thank you - anyone that takes part in the Beta Testing phase will be given a free copy of KumaAlert on Android for life!

Huge thanks to everyone for their interest so far.

Hey everyone,

I'm a small Apple developer as a part time hobby at this point, started making apps at the start of the year and have been really enjoying it - I'm a big believer in making apps that I want to use or that I think are missing.

I've been looking for some time for a AppleTV app that is like a personal dashboard of sorts, showing weather, recent news, to-do lists, calendar events, integration into Home Assistant, health data (maybe target steps for the day, or steps yesterday?), maybe emails from VIP's that require response - Effectively a loads of different modules you can enable/disable.

My main want is because I have a disused Apple TV in my bedroom and I'd love to automate it to turn on to said app when my alarm goes off in the morning.

Does anyone have a want or need for this? Or is it too niche? Thoughts? Or have I missed something like this that already exists?

Thanks!

Bobby

Hey everyone,

I just want to start by saying thank you so much to the entire community for ideas, bug reports and passionate debates on what this app should look like! When I started developing KumaAlert 3.0 I never imagined it would be as popular as it is.

Hugely excited to announce KumaAlert 3.0 - a huge upgrade on v2.0 and something I've been working on day and night over the past few weeks.

Full changelog at https://kumaalert.app/changelog/ but the exciting stuff first...

New Features

- iPad support

- Sign in with Apple + end-to-end encrypted sync. Your servers and settings follow you to every device.

- Per-monitor notifications - set each monitor to All, DOWN only, or Off.

- Live Activities for outages - Lock Screen and Dynamic Island timer while a monitor is down (iOS 17.2+) - Must use app notifications.

- Kiosk mode for wall-mounted iPads - full-screen dashboard, themes, alert tone

- Recovery notifications that show how long a monitor was down.

- Four louder tones - Siren, Klaxon, Buzzer, Fire Alarm.

- Attach notification channels to monitors from the Add/Edit sheet.

- Drag to reorder monitors and servers; drop a URL to start a new monitor on iPad.

- Plain-HTTP support for LAN, .local, and Tailscale addresses - Thanks to u/Ericbaudur

- Request timeout field and a "Show heartbeat bars" toggle.

Additionally: Loads of work has gone into performance to make the app less laggy without the need to reduce loads of features - there is also a toggle above to remove heartbeat bars that should make it smoother still.
