Its data stays with you, with the specific exceptions described below.</li> <li><strong>The iOS app</strong> — the client that receives alerts on your phone.</li> <li><strong>This website</strong> — a static site with no analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies.</li> </ul> <h2 id="your-pingtower-account">Your Pingtower account</h2> <p>Everyone who uses the iOS app has an account on the hosted service — including self-hosters. That is a deliberate part of how Pingtower works: Apple push notifications for the Pingtower app can only be sent by us, so the registry of which phone belongs to which person has to live on our service.</p>https://www.pingtower.com/terms/Fri, 28 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.pingtower.com/terms/<p>These terms govern your use of Pingtower: the hosted service at pingtower.com, the Pingtower server software when you run it yourself, and the Pingtower iOS app. By creating an account or using any of them, you agree to these terms.</p> <h2 id="what-pingtower-is">What Pingtower is</h2> <p>Pingtower is log-driven alerting. Your applications POST structured log lines to a Pingtower server; the server deduplicates repeats, evaluates your rules, and maintains alert state with escalation until a person acknowledges. Alerts reach people through the iOS app — including critical alerts that sound through Silent mode — and through integrations you configure, such as webhooks, Slack, and Telegram.</p>https://www.pingtower.com/posts/2026-w29-ios/Mon, 13 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.pingtower.com/posts/2026-w29-ios/<p>Getting a new phone onto Pingtower used to mean finding an API key, copying it off a laptop, and pasting it into a text field before you could see a single alert. That&rsquo;s a fine way to hand a script a credential. It&rsquo;s a bad way to onboard a person.</p> <p>This week we rebuilt how Pingtower handles accounts and teams from the ground up. Here&rsquo;s what&rsquo;s different.</p> <h2 id="sign-in-with-just-your-email">Sign in with just your email</h2> <p>Onboarding is now email and password — sign up or log in, and you&rsquo;re in. No server address to track down, no key to paste, no laptop required. Whether you&rsquo;re setting up Pingtower for the first time or handing your phone to a new hire, the whole flow is: type your email, pick a password, done.</p>https://www.pingtower.com/addons/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.pingtower.com/addons/https://www.pingtower.com/get-started/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.pingtower.com/get-started/https://www.pingtower.com/agents/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.pingtower.com/agents/
