- For
- iPhone users who want pager-style alerts from chosen contacts
- Worth noticing
- The browser demo uses fictional messages and says nothing is sent or saved; real setup requires a manually created Shortcuts automation.
Field notes
The demo includes a sample unread queue: reading a page clears it from the queue and keeps it in history. The page describes eight skins and custom translations for numeric codes, including 143 for “I love you” and 07734 for “Hello.” Its setup depends on a user-created Apple Shortcuts automation, and the page notes that group SMS may not always be distinguishable.
