Some notifications can't wait: your driver arriving, a production page, the doorbell. On iPhone they're the same quiet banner as everything else, and you see them hours later. Hotline turns the notifications you choose into real alarms: loud, full screen, and through Silent and Focus, like the Clock app. HOW IT WORKS 1. In Shortcuts, add one automation for the apps you care about that runs "Send to Hotline". You set it up once. 2. In Hotline, make channels with rules: an app, a person, a word, or a call ringing right now. 3. Matching notifications ring your iPhone like an alarm. Everything else stays a quiet banner. RULES THAT FIT YOUR LIFE • Ring for a doorbell, a production page, or a message containing "urgent" • Ring for a call while it's still ringing, or when Mom calls 3 times in 5 minutes • Match words or regular expressions in the sender, title and body • Only at certain times, like nights or weekdays • Only when an alert repeats, like a server warning 3 times in 10 minutes • A cooldown so one event doesn't set off several alarms • Preview which recent notifications a channel would ring for, and why EVERY CHANNEL, YOUR WAY • Ring now, or count down first so you can cancel from the Lock Screen • Snooze, or ring again every few minutes until you stop it • A sound for each channel, or your own from Files with Hotline Pro • Start from templates, or turn any notification into a channel • Weekly stats on what Hotline received and rang • A color for each channel • Show the notification's text on the alarm, or keep it private • Turn off one channel, or all of Hotline from Control Center BUILT TO BE TRUSTED • Test any channel with one tap • History shows every notification Hotline received and what it did • No account, no server, no tracking. Everything stays on your iPhone TRY IT FREE Your first 3 real alarms are free. After that, a one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited alarms, your own sounds and more History, shared with your family. No subscription. Ringing for notifications needs iOS 27; on iOS 26, other Shortcuts automations can ring channels. Hotline only sees notifications from the apps you pick.
