Changelog

What’s new in Honk, newest first. Each library keeps its own detailed changelog on GitHub.

  1. A new Honk widget, and notifications that show their level

    • One Honk widget for the Home Screen and, new, the Lock Screen. Choose what it shows: Attention, All messages or one project. Its times stay current on their own.
    • A notification with a level now shows that level’s icon, so you can tell a Blast from a Light honk before you read it.
    • Long notifications can be shortened, and a notification can add “Seems to fix: …” or “Seems to be the same problem as: …”. Both follow fixed rules on your iPhone, without AI, and you can turn them off in Settings ▸ Notifications.
    • When several problems start together, each one gets its own notification right away, and only the first one makes a sound.
    • On-device AI no longer writes summaries or reply drafts: they weren’t reliable enough. It sorts messages into categories, picks out the key details of a request and points out what’s waiting on you.

  2. Connections and heartbeats

    • Connect Stripe, Shopify, GitHub, Sentry, Uptime Kuma and Grafana or Alertmanager with one URL each. Paste it into the service’s webhook settings, and its events arrive as messages, each at its level.
    • When the service reports a fix, such as a workflow passing again, an alert resolving or a monitor coming back up, Honk closes the problem with a recovery.
    • For any other tool, a generic webhook turns JSON or plain text into a message.
    • Heartbeats for cron jobs, backups and workers: each one gets a check-in URL. When the check-ins stop, Honk opens a problem and sends a push, and the next check-in closes it.
    • You add both under a project’s Connections in the web app. Each workspace can have 2 connections and 2 heartbeats on Free, 20 of each on Pro and 100 of each on Team (plans).

  3. Sign in with a 6-digit code

    • No more sign-in links: Honk emails you a 6-digit code that works once and expires after 10 minutes. There are still no passwords.
    • iOS can fill in the code from Mail, right above the keyboard. Sign-in and invitation emails are now in HTML and in your language.

  4. Honk on Apple Watch

    • What needs your attention and recent messages, with each group’s details.
    • Mark handled with Double Tap, plus Mark read and Mute 1h, on groups and on notifications.
    • Complications for the watch face, and the latest incident in the Smart Stack while something urgent is live.
    • Your iPhone signs the watch in for you, and the watch then stays signed in on its own.

  5. Widgets, Live Activities and Control Center

    • Home Screen widgets in small, medium and large, with Mark handled and Mute 1h on incidents.
    • Live Activities for incidents at the level you choose, on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. They update while Honk is closed, until they show Recovered.
    • Control Center controls: Mute everything for an hour, and Open Attention.

  6. Five languages

    • The web app, Honk for iPhone and Apple Watch, emails and notifications are now in English, Romanian, Spanish, French and German.

  7. Libraries for six languages, a CLI and an n8n node

    • Official libraries (0.1.0) for Node.js, PHP and Laravel, Go, Swift, Kotlin and Java, and Rust, all with the same retries, idempotency keys and errors.
    • The honk-me CLI for shell scripts, cron and CI, with prebuilt binaries.
    • The n8n-nodes-honk community node, version 0.1.1.
    • Published on npm, Packagist, the Go proxy, Swift Package Manager and crates.io. Maven Central comes next.

  8. Images, on-device AI and the Honk scale

    • Events can carry an image (image_url), shown in the inbox and in notifications.
    • On iPhone, Apple Intelligence writes summaries, short titles and categories on the device.
    • Severity levels got their horn names: Light honk, Beep-beep, Loud honk, Long honk and Blast.
    • A Trash for each person, and an inbox on iPhone that works like Mail.

  9. Honk 1.0

    • The first release: the server, the web app (installable on Android) and the iPhone app, with one endpoint for events, groups and episodes, pushes with a cooldown, digests, quiet hours, rules and workspaces.
