Hey, HN. While I was helping a friend set up their new iPhone, I noticed that they were prompted to upgrade to a newer version of iOS. When I checked my own phone, I saw that the update had been released more than two weeks earlier — but I was still stuck on the old version even though I had the iOS "Automatic Updates" feature enabled.

As a result, I started working on this project to make it easy to get notified whenever Apple releases a new iOS update. It can send notifications via Discord, Email, Signal, Slack, SMS, and Telegram.

It's free and open source. There are even a couple of no-setup options (just scan a QR code or text a toll-free number) for people who want to try it out first or who don't want to self-host it themselves.

Whether you care about security and want critical bug fixes fast; or you get excited about new features and want to try them first; or both — my hope is that this little tool can help.

Thanks for taking a look!
