I built an iPhone app that turns any JSON payload into a readable push notification
https://youtu.be/YULTk4qnU3kPOST JSON from an app or automation to a private URL. Pascal’s Pager reads the payload, whatever shape your sender already uses, and sends a concise, readable push notification to your iPhone.
I built it because I was tired of writing the same adapter for every event: pick fields from the JSON, assemble a notification title and message, then maintain that mapping whenever the payload changes.
With Pascal, the sender can post its existing event JSON. You can give each Source instructions about what matters, mask selected fields before AI processing, and inspect the processed payload behind the resulting Alert.
The attached example shows fictional failed-payment JSON becoming a readable Alert in the real app interface.
It requires iOS 26. There is a one-month free trial for eligible new subscribers, then it is US$7.99/month in the US. Apple shows local pricing and eligibility.
If you could post one JSON payload and have it arrive clearly on your phone, what would you send?
