SMSNotify for iPhone – Vibrating Alerts for Unread SMS Messages

Posted on 02 Jan 2008 by PatrickJ

SMSNotify is a new utility for the iPhone – that will vibrate every 15 seconds to alert you if you have unread SMS messages.sms2

The script was written by Nate True – well-known iPhone hacker and creator of the iBrickr app.

It’s a shell script, so it can be easily amended if you’d like it to behave a little differently.

Nate points out that it currently has some limitations too:

"Now it’s not perfect – when your phone is asleep it won’t be every 15 seconds but will wait until the phone silently wakes up (to check your e-mail generally) before it can vibrate again. I’m working on that."

SMSNotify is available on Installer now.
