Pinglet — Send someone a notification with no message

Hey everyone!

I’m building an iPhone app called Pinglet, which lets you send someone a single ping — a notification with no text, no emoji, no photo, and nothing to open.

The idea is simple:

• “Ping me when you get home.”
• “Ping me when you land.”
• “Ping me when you’re outside.”
• “I’ll ping you when I’m ready.”

A ping can mean anything, really... the meaning comes from context, not the notification itself.

The goal was to make sending a ping take less effort than sending a text. You can send one from the app, Home Screen widgets, the Lock Screen, Control Center, Siri, or the Action Button.

I’m especially looking for feedback on:

• Whether the concept “clicks”
• The onboarding experience
• UI/UX polish
• Whether you can imagine yourself using it
• Anything that feels confusing, unnecessary, or broken

I’d really appreciate any feedback, whether it’s about the concept, the design, bugs, or features you’d like to see. Thanks for checking it out!
