Quickstart

1. Create your account

   Sign up with a passkey, Google, GitHub or an email link. No card.

2. Install the iPhone app

   Sign in and allow notifications, so wake alerts reach your lock screen. Add your phone number for calls if you use Twilio.

3. Connect your repo

   In your project folder, run the command below. It signs you in through the browser, shows every change it will make, and applies them only after you say yes.

   npx pagerless connect

4. Deploy as usual

   Your setup screen lights up when the first service sends a heartbeat. Nothing else to configure.

5. Pick your backup

   Add one person to call if you don't answer within 5 minutes. They need their own account and phone.

Prefer to do it by hand?

In a Node app, install the package and import it first thing:

npm i pagerless

import "pagerless/auto"; // first line of your server entry

Then set PAGERLESS_KEY in your host's environment. Other stacks: all integrations.
