Features

Aivi turns anything that can make an HTTP request into a Live Activity on your Apple devices. Here is the full picture, with links to the details.

Live Activities everywhere

Lock screen and Dynamic Island. Glanceable, always-current updates on your iPhone.
Apple Watch, iPad, CarPlay, and Mac. The same activity propagates across your Apple devices (macOS mirroring is not available in the EU).
One call drives everything. A single request updates every surface and every subscriber at once. See the API reference.

Progress. Simple or segmented progress bars, with split or layered display, hatched tracks, and header/footer slots.
Monitor. One or two columns of labeled, live, color-coded values, with a primary column for compact surfaces.

Icons. Any SF Symbol, with monochrome, hierarchical, palette, or multicolor rendering and flat or gradient fills.
Colors. A palette of named colors for values, text, and bars.
Tap actions. Open an app or a webpage when the activity is tapped.
Live time formatters. time_until and time_since render as on-device countdown and elapsed timers.

Battery-friendly. Aivi only pushes when the content changes, so there is no polling or background drain.
Auto-updating timers. Countdown and elapsed timers tick on-device with no extra API calls.
Configurable dismissal delay. Choose how long a finished activity lingers before it disappears, from immediate up to 4 hours (10 minutes by default), per activity.
Activity priority. Set an activity’s prominence so the most important ones stay visible on crowded surfaces.
Long-running activities. Opt an activity into running indefinitely; Aivi keeps it alive past the system’s multi-hour limit by refreshing it automatically.

Shared activities. Share one activity with up to five people. A single update reaches everyone’s devices, and subscribers pay nothing.

Activity history. See the most recent state changes for an activity, handy for confirming an automation fired.
In-app changelog. See what’s new, with a badge when there are unread entries.
API token management. View, copy, and rotate your token from the Account tab.

One-click blueprints. Import a ready-made blueprint with no HACS, custom components, or code.
Guided setup. Map your sensors to fields and go.
Per-template blueprints for Progress, Monitor, and timers, with inputs for tap actions and icon customization.

Single endpoint. One PATCH with a token, plus an OpenAPI spec you can import into Postman or Insomnia.
Activity states. ONGOING and IDLE control the full lifecycle.
