Push Notification Systems

Users are increasingly leveraging push notification systems like Home Assistant and Pushover to create seamless feedback loops between their mobile devices and AI-driven development tasks. Much of the conversation centers on identifying specialized tools like "Poke," an emerging AI notification API designed for remote steering, despite its currently restrictive waitlist and limited documentation. This trend highlights a growing demand for better mobile-desktop synchronization, where developers seek to monitor complex AI workflows and provide quick feedback while away from their primary workstations. Ultimately, the community is proactively bridging technical gaps with custom notification hooks while they wait for more robust, native mobile integrations from major AI providers.

I don't like typing long messages on my phone so this workflow, as cool as it sounds, wouldn't work for me. My current setup is that I have a Claude Code hook that runs whenever CC needs my input and it uses my Home Assistant instance to send a push notification to my phone. I then return back to the computer and continue on the work.

This works reasonably well, but there is a gap for small messages or review comments. I am waiting for Anthropic to shop a feature where the Claude mobile app is able to mirror Claude Code (not the Claude desktop app) and lets me see the diffs of the changes it made and send commands. I'd use this to steer the conversation while on the go with short commands or prompts so that when I'm back at the computer I can focus on the important feedback that I can jot down quickly on the computer keyboard.

Why not use Claude App in GitHub (if your code is in GitHub)?

I kick off a prompt as a GitHub issue, Claude fires away on this issue, provides updates as comments and a PR is created for me at the end for review.

It also notifies me throughout, and I can look at the pipelines to see the thinking behind the action.

Does anyone know what the "Poke" service that this blog mentions is? I'm having trouble finding it on Google.

Hey! I work on Poke, and OP is apparently a user :)

Right now, there's a bouncer/waitlist to access Poke, but you can see how other people use Poke at poke.com/explore :)

Other users have linked the developer documentation, but if you're particularly interested in anything specific, feel free to email me!

yeah this was a poorly written blogpost (which is fine to be clear, something is better than nothing and OP gave the highest order bits).

but its this poke: https://poke.com/ verified because TFA is cited in this page https://poke.com/explore

the sign up is very annoying fair warning.

Yeah, me too. The only thing that shows up is poke.com which has something to do with mobile notifications (and seems like at some point they offered some api, but maybe it was discontinued? or something, there are some medium posts talking about their api https://jpcaparas.medium.com/get-sms-or-imessage-alerts-from...

Maybe [1]? Sounds like ntfy.sh, but more… AI

I use Pushover for notifications.
