Deploy and Host Bark on Railway

Bark is an iOS push notification tool app that allows users to send custom push notifications to their devices via HTTP requests. It leverages Apple Push Notification service (APNs) and supports advanced iOS notification features like grouping, custom icons/sounds, time-sensitive notifications, critical alerts, and end-to-end encryption.

About Hosting Bark

Hosting Bark is a breeze — deploy this template, expose it via a public URL, and add it to the Bark app on your iPhone. That's it, you're ready to go.

Common Use Cases

Use Bark as a lightweight internal alert system — think a DIY PagerDuty. Critical notifications can override iOS Do Not Disturb and Focus modes, so the right people get notified no matter what.

Set up takes under 5 minutes, and the Bark docs (accessible in the iOS app or online) cover a wide range of notification types to fit your needs.

Database down? DDoS detected? Something on fire? Bark it to your iPhone.
