PushWard

PushWard turns plain HTTP requests into iOS Live Activities. Bridge your backend services to the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen — one API call starts an activity, another updates it.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Create an activity with a template and slug via the API
2. Update state and content with a simple PATCH request
3. The update lands on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island instantly

No APNs certificates to manage. No device tokens to track.
