PermitPulse is now live on Google Play

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.

So I got tired of constantly refreshing recreation.gov hoping for a BWCA permit cancellation, so I built an app called PermitPulse to do it for me. It checks every 5 minutes and pushes a notification the moment a slot opens for your entry point and date range.

Before I release publicly on Google Play I'm opening up a small closed beta. If you're planning a BWCA trip and want early access, or just want to help me test it, I'd love your feedback.

No subscription fees, no ads. Android now, iOS coming soon.

<edit> I'm hearing the invite email is getting sent to spam folders. I'm trying to figure out what I can do to prevent that, but in the meantime, check your spam folders! </edit>
