Hook and the alternatives
Push services send the messages you write. Request inspectors show what arrived, in a browser tab. Hook does both: any webhook becomes a notification on your iPhone, and you read the whole request. Here is how it compares, including where another tool fits better.
vs
ntfy alternative for iPhone
ntfy is an open-source pub/sub service: you publish a message to a topic and subscribed devices get it. Hook gives you an endpoint any service can call as it is, and shows the whole request as well as the notification.

Pushover alternative
Pushover is a reliable push API: your code sends a token, a user key and a message. Hook is an endpoint other services call directly, so a webhook you don't control still becomes a notification you can read in full.

webhook.site alternative with push
webhook.site is a browser tool for inspecting requests sent to a disposable URL. Hook does the inspecting too, but on a permanent endpoint that notifies your iPhone, so you don't have to keep a tab open.
Compare - vs
Pushcut alternative for webhooks
Pushcut is built around iOS Shortcuts: notifications that run automations on your phone. Hook is built around the request: any service calls your endpoint and you read exactly what it sent.
Compare - vs
Bark alternative
Bark is a free, open-source iOS app: put a title and body in a URL and it arrives as a push. Hook takes requests in whatever shape a service sends them and lets you read all of it.
Compare - vs
Hookdeck Console alternative on iPhone
Hookdeck Console is a free browser inspector next to Hookdeck's webhook gateway, with a CLI that forwards to localhost. Hook is for watching webhooks from your phone: every request pushes, and you read it anywhere.
