The host helper.

The small program behind task notifications, installed on your own computer. The helper, task notifications and Live Activities are free; Pro adds higher notification limits.

Install it

The shortest route is one line on the computer, then scan the pairing code from Add server:

macOS / Linux

curl -fsSL https://shinphony.app/pair | sh

Windows · PowerShell

irm https://shinphony.app/pair.ps1 | iex

On Windows, run it in a normal PowerShell window: if OpenSSH Server is off, it asks once for administrator permission first.

The one-line setup guide explains what it installs, and the task notifications guide covers the same setup from inside the app, with permissions and removal.

Signed downloads and hashes

/hook is the release page for the helper. It reads the same signed metadata the installer uses and lists the current release sequence, date and SHA-256 for each platform:

macOS · Apple silicon
macOS · Intel
Linux · x86-64
Linux · ARM64
Windows · x86-64
Windows · ARM64

The source is public at chux0519/shinphony-hook. Builds are reproducible; releases are signed and require your opt-in to update.

Notification text is end-to-end encrypted: only your iPhone can read it. Terminal lines on the Lock Screen are opt-in. See the privacy policy.

Machine-readable manifest

The app and the installer read latest.json from downloads.potafree.net. It lists the version, sequence, notes and per-platform file size and SHA-256.
