PingRoom is a real-time notification app for shared rooms. Create a room, set up one-tap buttons, hit one, and everyone in the room gets Pinged instantly. Works for friends, families, teams, events, on-call crews, or anyone who needs a fast shared signal.

Near-instant. Notifications go straight to Apple (APNs) and Google (FCM) through our own delivery engine: no third-party middleman in the path, no extra hop to slow it down.

No. Location triggers use on-device geofencing for location-based notifications; zero location data ever reaches our servers. When you cross a boundary, your phone fires the Ping itself.

No. PingRoom uses the OS-native geofencing built into iOS and Android, not constant GPS polling. The system wakes your app only when you cross a boundary you set. The rest of the time it costs nothing.

No. Start as a guest, no email required. Upgrade later with a one-time email code when you want to keep your rooms across devices.

Yes. PingRoom runs in the browser at pingroom.io/app. Sign in and send Pings without installing anything. The native iOS and Android apps add push notifications and location triggers.

Yes, the core is free: rooms, quick actions, and broadcasts. Pro unlocks all triggers (location, schedule, incoming and outgoing webhooks), plus public rooms.

A numbered one-tap button inside a room. Tap it and everyone gets the Ping you set up: a sound, a message, a signal. No typing, no friction.

Yes, with Pro: fire on a geofence (location), on a schedule (time), from an incoming webhook, or send outgoing webhooks when something happens in a room.

Yes: incoming and outgoing webhooks wire PingRoom into anything with a URL. And PingRoom speaks MCP with OAuth 2.1, so AI agents (Claude, Cursor, CI bots) can Ping rooms with scoped permissions. See Connections or read the Agent Access doc (the auth.md spec).

Each person gets one personal room with a shareable handle (pingroom.io/@you) and a contact card of your links. Share your details with a tap. Always free.

Broadcast-only rooms anyone can discover and subscribe to, great for creators and communities. Creating one is a Pro feature.

iOS and Android.

Rate limiting, strict field whitelisting, secrets filtered from logs. Your account has no password to steal: sign-in is a one-time email code or a social login. Room passwords are stored hashed. The bigger safeguard: we don't collect what we don't need. Read the security overview.
