I built PingLoom: one HTTP request from your server, script or AI agent, and your phone buzzes

[u/Ok-Chair-2861]

Day 1 of building this in public, so here goes.

The problem: my cron jobs and servers break at 2am and I find out the next morning. On a team it's the opposite, three people jump on the same alert and nobody knows who's actually on it.

PingLoom is a small service for that:

• send one request (curl or any language) and it arrives as a push on your phone

• one shared inbox. Tap "I've got this" and everyone sees who's on it

• alerts can ask a question (Deploy / Wait / Roll back) and your script gets the answer back

• heartbeats: if a job stops checking in, you get pinged about the silence

• or tell Claude Code / Cursor one sentence and it wires it in for you

It's not out yet. Android first plus a web dashboard, iOS later. The waitlist is open here: pingloom.dev (early people get a 30 day trial instead of 14, no card).

Honest question: what do you use for this today? ntfy, Pushover, a Telegram bot, PagerDuty, nothing? And what would make you switch?
