Push notifications put alerts on your phone’s lock screen and on your computer, free and instant, on every plan. There is no app to install from a store: Uptimecheck works in the browser on your phone and can be added to the home screen.
Turn on push on each device
- iPhone and iPad: open app.uptimecheck.com, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. Open Uptimecheck from the home screen, go to Account and choose Turn on under Push notifications.
- Android and computers: open Account in the browser and choose Turn on under Push notifications. Allow notifications when the browser asks.
Choose Send a test to check that it arrives. If notifications are blocked, allow them in the browser’s site settings and reload the page.
Add a push channel
- Open Alert channels in the sidebar and choose Add channel.
- Pick Push.
- Under Who gets them, choose These people and tick them, or Whoever is on call and pick an on-call schedule.
- Choose Add channel.
Each person turns push on for their own devices. The list in the dialog shows how many devices each person has.
Good to know
- When the monitor recovers, the recovery replaces the outage notification, so your lock screen stays tidy.
- To reach one person at a time, set up an on-call schedule.
