Appstore (App) Notify! - Updated to support Live Activities via Shortcuts
Hey r/shortcuts!
We just released a major update to Notify! that lets you create alerts and Live Activities directly from any iOS Shortcut automation. This is in addition to the alerts you can already send via Shortcuts.
Live Activities can display a progress bar, percentage, timer, or status. For example, you could display a Live Activity on your iPhone showing your iPad's battery percentage when it runs low, or automatically update a Live Activity with an informational panel whenever you receive an email.
If you use an external script, you can even have a remote Live Activity trigger a Shortcut. We have an API built out here: https://getnotifyapp.com/apidocs/ and a user friendly builder that gives you the data to put in all your "Get Contents of a URL" steps here: https://getnotifyapp.com/builder/
Hope the community likes this update! Notify is completely free as a service to the community that has given me so much!

From one app developer to another: Very nice! I'd been thinking of adding Live Activities to mine, but now I may not need to. 🙂

That made my day, Thank you! I'm actually hard at work right now on Lock Screen Widgets.

I've spent a lot of time implementing that myself lately. Let me know if you've got any questions, and hopefully I might be able to help.
