HookTap is an iOS, macOS, and Windows app that receives HTTP POST webhook requests and delivers them as real-time push notifications to your devices. No server or registration required — open the app, copy your URL, and you're live in under 2 minutes.

A webhook is an automated HTTP POST request triggered by an event in a service (e.g. GitHub, Stripe, Zapier). HookTap receives it and forwards it as a push notification to your iPhone within seconds.

Do I need programming knowledge to use HookTap?

No. With tools like Zapier, Make, n8n, or GitHub Actions you just paste your HookTap URL. For cURL scripts, minimal knowledge helps, but is not required.

Yes. The free plan includes 1 webhook URL, real-time push notifications, and up to 20 events in the feed — forever. Pro plans start at $0.99/month or $24.99 for lifetime access.

Where is my data stored?

Events are stored on servers in Berlin, Germany, protected by GDPR. Your webhook URL is cryptographically unique and not guessable. Your account and all data can be deleted at any time.

Can I share a webhook with my team?

Yes. Generate an 8-character share code in the app (valid 15 minutes) and teammates can redeem it to receive the same push notifications on their own devices. Access can be revoked at any time.

What platforms does HookTap support?

HookTap supports iPhone (iOS 16+), Mac (macOS 13+), and Windows 10+. All platforms sync in real time through the same backend.

How does HookTap compare to Discord or Slack webhooks?

Unlike Discord or Slack, HookTap is purpose-built for webhook receiving. It gives you full payload inspection, an event history log, multiple delivery modes (push, feed, widget), and works without a team account or chat platform.

HookTap 1.0.2

HookTap 1.0.2 is focused on making webhook workflows easier to connect, safer to maintain, and clearer to debug.

This update adds a smoother CLI setup flow, better mapping tools, webhook health diagnostics, and URL rotation for cases where a webhook URL needs to be replaced quickly.

Connect the HookTap CLI with a pairing code

The HookTap CLI can now be connected directly from the iPhone app.

Instead of copying a webhook ID manually, generate a one-time pairing code in HookTap and run:

hooktap setup --code 123456

The CLI stores the correct webhook profile and sends a test event, so your terminal is ready to send notifications in seconds.

This is especially useful for developers who want to use HookTap from scripts, CI jobs, local builds, or deployment commands.

Mapping Playground

Webhook field mapping is more powerful when you can test it before saving.

The new Mapping Playground lets you paste sample JSON and preview how HookTap will resolve:

Title
Body
Event type
Deep link

This makes it easier to connect services like GitHub, Stripe, Vercel, Zapier, Make, n8n, and custom scripts without guessing whether a JSON path is correct.

Webhook Health

The new Webhook Health screen gives you a clearer view of recent webhook activity.

You can now inspect:

Recent event count
Push, feed, and widget activity
Last request time
Last event time
Mapping diagnostics
Push delivery diagnostics
Widget update diagnostics

This helps answer the most common question when working with webhooks:

Did the event arrive, and what happened next?

Webhook URL Rotation

Webhook URLs act like bearer tokens. If a URL is accidentally shared, committed, or exposed, it should be replaced.

HookTap 1.0.2 adds webhook URL rotation. Rotating a webhook immediately invalidates the old URL and creates a new one.

Use this when:

A webhook URL was posted publicly
A script or CI secret needs to be refreshed
A shared automation should no longer be able to send events

Better delivery diagnostics

HookTap now stores more diagnostic information for incoming events.

That includes whether mapping was applied, whether a fallback was used, whether push notifications were sent, how many devices were reached, and whether widget updates were triggered.

These details power the new health screen and make webhook behavior easier to understand.

A better developer workflow

HookTap 1.0.2 is a practical release for people who use webhooks every day.

The goal is simple:

Make it faster to connect tools
Make it easier to verify payloads
Make webhook URLs safer to manage
Make it clearer to understand what happened after an event was received
