Roadmap
From one tap to one fabric.
PingRoom started as the bell: make a room, tap once, everyone knows. Version 1.2 is now live on the App Store, with Questions, Watch Smart Stack Pings, organized rooms, templates, insights and more. Here is what is built, and where the fabric goes next.
The notification bus is already shipping.
The 1.2 release moves PingRoom beyond a tap-only bell: rooms can ask Questions, agents can wait for answers, the Watch can Ping from its Smart Stack, and your rooms are easier to organize.
The next work is the same direction, pushed deeper: a shared, push-native channel for people and agents, with no vendor in the middle and privacy by architecture.
It already does all of this.
Not a demo. This is what PingRoom ships in production today, from a tap on your wrist to an AI agent that connects on its own.
Version 1.2 is live.
The current mobile build moves the roadmap forward: Questions, typed replies, better Watch surfaces, organized rooms, templates, links, Pro trial mechanics, and Android release hardening are no longer future work.
Questions shipped
Rooms, agents, and integrations can ask multi-option Questions with lock-screen replies or typed answers. First response wins, and everyone sees the result.
Watch got faster
Apple Watch now has an interactive Smart Stack widget, configurable complications, and better wrist-first Pinging.
Templates feel live
Quick Starts is now a horizontal template-card carousel, with live demos and honest gallery copy that matches what the app can do today.
Android hardened
The latest mobile changes add the Play-required location disclosure, remove an unused motion permission, and tighten Android share, picker, tab, and sheet behavior.

The road ahead
Where the signal goes next.
One push-native fabric for every human and every agent. Here is the path, roughly in the order we are building it.
Directions, not dated promises.
Shipped, the foundation
Everything above is live in production today. Jump to what’s built.
Now / Next
Polishing the remaining not-yet-built controls after the 1.2 and Android release work.
Structured data composer
Compose arbitrary JSON data, correlation IDs and reply-to threads on mobile beyond today's shipped link-ping helper.
Approval queue polish
Better filters, badges, and expiry-first routing for time-critical agent requests now that Questions and typed answers are live.
Visible action cooldowns
A countdown on each quick action so the built-in dedup window is something you can see, not just feel.
Trigger recipes & cloning
Pre-built location and schedule recipes, plus one-tap duplication, so a new trigger is a tap, not a setup.
Soon
Adoption and reach, for builders and everyone they Ping.
Integration snippets
A copy-paste, three-line snippet for each scenario: CI alerts, agent-finished Pings, two-agent hand-offs.
Owner analytics for any room
Generalize the live personal-room insights to every room: Ping volume over time, member timelines and trigger performance.
Webhook delivery logs & retries
A per-webhook delivery log with status and timing, plus one-tap retry with backoff.
Location triggers for any action
Let a geofence fire any quick action, not just the first, so an arrival rings exactly the right bell.
Color-blind & reduced-motion modes
Deuteranopia, protanopia and tritanopia palettes, plus a full reduced-motion pass across every animated surface.
Quiet hours & digests
A nightly window that batches Pings into a morning summary, with a VIP allow-list that always breaks through.
Vision
Be the channel, not the app. One push-native fabric for every agent and human.
The channel for agents
MCP gives one agent its tools; PingRoom gives many agents a shared, push-native channel.
Full A2A transport
AgentCards are live; next is carrying Google's Agent-to-Agent message protocol over real push. Infrastructure, not an app.
Connector-directory presence
Our own agent directory is live; next is a presence in every external registry, from Anthropic connectors to mcp.so.
Drop-in SDKs & one-line install
Language SDKs and a one-line install, so connecting a tool or pushing a message takes five minutes, not a docs deep-dive.
Smart notification rules
User-defined AND/OR rules and adaptive sound intensity, so the bell stays loud without becoming noise.
Offline & resilient
A read-only cache offline and queued Pings that replay, deduped, the moment you reconnect.
The bigger bet
MCP gives one agent its tools. PingRoom gives many agents a shared channel.
Be the channel, not the app
A distinct, defensible layer: the shared push-native channel agents and humans both live on.
A2A, delivered as push
Become the delivery transport for the emerging agent-to-agent standard.
Open protocols, not lock-in
auth.md, MCP and A2A. Meet agents where the standards are going.
Privacy by architecture
Location on-device, push straight to APNs/FCM, as little collected as possible.
A developer plugs in their agent in five minutes, and from then on their agents and their humans share one notification fabric.
Make a room. Tap once. Everyone knows.
Free to start, no account required. The bell is live, the 1.2 foundation is shipping, and the fabric is being built in public.
