Get up and running with KumaAlert in minutes.
Download KumaAlert from the App Store. The app requires iOS 17.0 or later.
You'll need the URL of your Uptime Kuma instance. This is the address you use to access your dashboard in a web browser (e.g., https://status.example.com). Your server must be accessible from the internet — local network addresses won't work from your phone when you're away from home.
Open KumaAlert and enter your server URL, username, and password. These are the same credentials you use to log into your Uptime Kuma dashboard. Tap Connect and you'll see your monitors appear.
For background status checks when the app isn't open, add an API key. In your Uptime Kuma dashboard, go to Settings > API Keys and create a new key. Then in KumaAlert, go to the Settings tab > Server and paste the key.
To receive alerts when monitors go down or recover, set up push notifications through your Uptime Kuma dashboard's notification system. The app will prompt you to allow notifications when you first connect.
