Homing Pigeon
Homing Pigeon (homingpigeon.dev) sends text-message alerts from your code or your coding agent to one phone: yours. No carrier registration, no app, no browser signup. Free to start.
It only flies home. First text in under a minute.
Status: in final testing. The API is running, but signup may not work yet.
Can I get text alerts from my code? Yes.
Sending texts from code in the US normally means A2P 10DLC registration: a brand, a campaign and a review that can take weeks. Homing Pigeon exists so that when you ask your coding tool for text alerts, the answer is simply yes.
Can I get text alerts from my code without carrier registration?
Yes. You do not register a brand or a campaign, and there is no A2P 10DLC paperwork on your side.
Can my coding agent set this up for me?
Yes. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok and similar tools can finish the setup inside the session. The six-digit code is the only step for you.
Can I get a text when my coding agent finishes or needs me?
Yes. Hooks for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor text you when the agent finishes or is waiting on you, with no changes to your own project.
Can I text myself from a trading bot, scraper, monitor or cron job?
Yes. Any code can send an alert with one API call, and the message is the only input.
Can I do this with no app and no signup page?
Yes. Alerts arrive as ordinary text messages, and signup happens in your agent's session. You do not need a website visit, an account page or an email address to start.
Is it free to start?
Yes. Homing Pigeon is free to start.
How it works
- Your agent submits your phone number.
- Homing Pigeon texts you a six-digit code, and you read it to your agent.
- Your agent verifies the code, gets an API key and stores it in your project.
- From then on, your code sends a message and your phone receives it.
What to tell your agent:
Use Homing Pigeon to text me when this finishes.
What it will not do
- It will not text anyone else. Messages go only to a number you verified as your own. There is no "to" field, and there never will be.
- It will not send you promotions. Nothing goes to your number that you did not configure.
- It will not ignore STOP. Reply STOP and the sending stops immediately.
- It is not a Twilio replacement. It is not a marketing platform or a way to message customers.
Delivery is not guaranteed. Delivery problems are reported in the API, not hidden.
