Switch the theme to see both. Screenshot theme Dark theme Light theme - 9:41 Dashboard One sentence says what needs a person; Acknowledge is one tap away. - 9:41 Everything one tap away The More sheet opens the full menu: monitors, hosts, on-call, status pages. - 9:41 Monitors Status, type and 24-hour uptime on cards sized for a thumb. - 9:41 Response time Charts redraw for the phone width, with a range brush underneath. - 9:41 CDN cache hit ratio Is the edge really caching? Hit ratio and time to first byte. - 9:41 Edge cache over time Hit, miss and not cached, check by check. - 9:41 MCP server Handshake timing, capabilities and the tool inventory. - 9:41 Incident What broke, since when, and Acknowledge or Resolve at the bottom. - 9:41 Root cause What happened, the diagnosis, expected and detected values. - 9:41 AI Agent on the phone A real answer from your own data, with follow-ups one tap away. - 9:41 Incident frequency Thirty days of incidents in a chart that fits the screen. - 9:41 Hosts Every server with CPU, memory and disk at a glance. - 9:41 Host detail Load, memory, disks and network from the agent. - 9:41 On-call Who is on call now, until when, and the rotation. - 9:41 Inbox Incidents opening and resolving, with how they ended. - 9:41 Channels Slack, email, Teams, webhooks and Telegram, switchable on the go. - 9:41 Status page Your public status page reads well on a phone too. - 9:41 Install the app From the second visit, a card shows how to install WatchFor. - 9:41 Android: dashboard The same dashboard in Chrome on Android. - 9:41 Android: root cause Expected and detected values side by side. ## The Details That Make It Work One-Handed Every page of the dashboard is laid out for a phone screen, not just the overview ### Bottom navigation and sheets Dashboard, Monitors, Incidents and Inbox sit under your thumb; More slides the full menu in as a sheet, and the organization switcher is at its top. ### Sticky action bars Run now and Pause on a monitor, Acknowledge and Resolve on an incident: the main actions stay pinned above the navigation while you scroll. ### Charts that fit Response time, CDN cache hit ratio and edge cache, host metrics and incident frequency redraw for the screen width, with readable axes and a range brush. ### Incidents with root cause What happened, the diagnosis, the expected and the detected value, the confirming locations and the timeline, on one scrollable page. ### AI Agent in your pocket Where the in-app AI Agent is switched on (early access, per organization), it works on the phone too: ask why something is down and get an answer from your own data. ### Integrations at your fingertips Switch a Slack or Teams channel off, add a contact, edit an on-call rotation or a status page from the phone, with the same permissions as on the desktop. ### Light and dark Follows the system theme by default, or pick one with a tap in the top bar. Both are designed, neither is an afterthought. ### Honest when offline The installed app needs a connection, like the dashboard. Offline, it shows a short notice and reloads by itself when you're back online. ## Incident Push on Your Phone and Desktop Turn on push under Settings → Notifications → Push notifications, per device. A confirmed incident arrives with its monitor and what went wrong; a resolved one replaces it. On Android and in desktop Chrome or Edge, Acknowledge right from the notification, without opening the app. - • Incident opened and resolved on by default, acknowledged by someone off - • Tapping a push opens the incident in the right organization - • iPhone and iPad: push from the installed app (iOS 16.4 or later) [Push notifications in the docs →](/docs/organization#push-notifications) 9:41 The Inbox on an iPhone: the same incident events that push sends to your devices. ## A Desktop App, Too Installed from Chrome or Edge, WatchFor runs in its own window on Windows, macOS and Linux, with its own taskbar or Dock icon and push notifications.

[Step-by-step guide](/docs/organization#install-the-app) ## Frequently asked questions [All questions→](/faq)[Ask us directly](/contact) Is there a WatchFor app for my phone? Yes. WatchFor installs as an app straight from the browser on Android, iPhone and iPad, without an app store. The installed app opens the dashboard in its own window and receives incident push notifications. A native Android app is in testing in our lab, and native iOS and Android apps are planned for December 2026. Do push notifications work on iPhone? Can I acknowledge an incident from the notification? Is the mobile version missing features? Can I run WatchFor as a desktop app? Does push replace my alert channels? ## Monitoring That Goes Where You Go Create a free account on your phone or your laptop, add a monitor in a minute and install the app when you're ready.
