A few months back I posted about an Android app I built called PermitPulse. I got a lot of feedback asking about iOS, so here it is.

Same deal: enter an entry point and up to a 5-day window, and you'll get a push notification within 5 minutes of a permit opening up. First watch is free, $1 per watch after that. No ads, no subscription.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/permitpulse/id6773133772
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.permitpulse.permit_pulse

Still planning to open up other recreation.gov sites soon, Rocky Mountain National Park is next on the list per a request. Happy to hear other requests.

I got tired of constantly refreshing recreation.gov every day looking to see if the BWCA permit I wanted had opened up, so I made an app. PermitPulse let's you enter a entry point and an upto 5-day window and will notify you within 5 minutes of a permit becoming available.

The first watch is free, and additional watches are $1 each. I know there are a few other sites that do this, but I found them either hard to use or more expensive than I wanted. I’m mainly trying to keep this simple and cheap while covering server costs; no ads or subscriptions.

Side note: I do plan on bringing this to iOS shortly, so keep an eye out. After that, I plan on opening up other recreation.gov managed sites, so if you have a request on what to do next, I'd love to hear it. I already have one for Rocky Mountain National Park.
