The problem
You don't need another inbox.
You need a heartbeat.
Every tool wants its own dashboard. Every notification wants its own Slack channel. Solo founders end up with a graveyard of tabs and a Slack workspace of one.
Without Blood Rush
The graveyard.

That's it. One pulse. You feel it. You move on.
How it works
Three steps. Then you feel it.
◐
01
Add a Source
One per tool. Each gets its own webhook URL — no accounts, no Slack, no auth dance.
↘
02
Wire it up
IFTTT, Zapier, n8n, raw curl, your own script. Anything that can POST JSON can fire a pulse.
✦
03
Feel the pings
Native macOS notifications. A heartbeat in your menu bar. Last 50 events kept on your Mac.
Webhooks in. Mac pings out.
One curl is all
it takes.
Send any JSON to your secret webhook URL. Blood Rush normalizes the payload,
picks a sound, and pings your Mac. No SDK. No client library. Templating is
built in — write
{{email}}
and we'll wire it up.

{ "ok": true, "id": "evt_a04xQ" }

What's inside
Tiny app. Sharp edges.
Per-source rules
Every pulse gets a personality.
Sounds, colors, urgency, quiet hours, grouping. Stripe sounds like money. Cron sounds like nothing.

Your event log lives on your machine.
Our backend is a thin relay. We see envelopes, not contents. Events expire from our servers within minutes.
Sources
Sources, ready to go.
Three ship as native presets at launch — Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Polar.sh — with sensible defaults for sound, urgency, and copy. The other five fire today via the generic webhook. Anything that POSTs JSON works.
Hover any card to see a real pulse from that source.

Questions, calmly answered
FAQ
Is this just IFTTT for my menu bar?
Kind of. IFTTT and Zapier are great at piping events. Blood Rush is the surface they pipe into. We don't replace your automations — we give them a home.
Why not just a Slack channel?
Slack is a workspace. It wants threads, mentions, channels, "okay thanks." Blood Rush is a heartbeat. It pings, you feel it, you move on.
What about Windows or Linux?
Mac first. The bar is high — native Swift, real notification permissions, menu bar polish. We'll consider other platforms when v1 ships.
Where does my event data live?
On your Mac. Our backend is a thin relay; events expire from our servers within minutes of delivery. The full history sits in a local file you own.
Can I send my own custom events?
Yes. The generic webhook takes any JSON with title (required), plus optional body, urgency, and a click-through url. The source is whichever webhook URL you POST to.
What if my Mac is asleep?
Events queue on the relay. When your Mac wakes and reconnects, you get a quick burst of what you missed. No "you have 1,247 unread" drama.
When your product moves,
you'll feel it.
