Latest Release Notes (v2026.6)

- Pushcut's URL Scheme now supports x-callback-urls. Now other apps can trigger Automation Server actions, integrations, and HomeKit Scenes without you writing a shortcut. - Fixed the "Copy curl" button on widgets providing an invalid URL when the widget name contained spaces.

Pushcut helps you kick off your automation when it matters. Create fine-tuned interactions for HomeKit, Shortcuts, and custom workflows through smart notifications and widgets combined with powerful automation actions. Use HomeKit scenes, shortcuts, online integrations, and web services as notification actions that pop up exactly when they matter to you. Trigger these smart notifications from Shortcuts, HomeKit, schedules, locations, iBeacons, online services (like IFTTT, Zapier, Flow, Integromat, ...), home servers, or anywhere that knows what HTTP is. Design beautiful custom widgets and display dynamic information that you can provide using Shortcuts actions, online services or our own API.

# Design Brief: Soft & Friendly (with Minimal Monochrome)

Warm low-saturation pastels, generous rounded corners, and approachable illustrations.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #fcfcfd;
  --surface: #202b61;
  --foreground: #181818;
  --muted-foreground: #65656b;
  --accent: #d864b6;
  --radius: 16px;
  --font-heading: "Arial", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Arial", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #FCFCFD (~76%) · Surface #202B61 (~9%) · Text #181818 (~7%) · Muted Text #65656B (~4%) · Accent #D864B6 (~4%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Centered Headline + CTA
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Large Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Illustration / Character Art
- Conversion CTA: Download App / Install Extension
- Headline hook: Direct Action Command
- Hero components: Custom Illustration
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Soft & Friendly (Light canvas, balanced density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and illustration / character art visuals.

## Avoid

- Harsh pure-black backgrounds
- Sharp 0px corners
- Cold technical jargon in hero copy

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
