Yes! PingEM is completely free for personal use. We believe quick communication shouldn't come with a price tag. Premium features for teams may be added in the future.
Currently, PingEM is available for macOS and iOS. Windows and Linux versions are on our roadmap—join our mailing list to be notified when they launch.
PingEM checks your device's activity status every 5 seconds and syncs it to our servers. If you've been inactive for a few minutes, you'll show as "Away." When the app isn't running, you're "Offline."
Absolutely. We only store what's necessary: your email (for account), friend connections, and presence status. Messages are not stored after delivery. We never sell your data.
The flash notification style is intentionally bold to ensure visibility. However, you can customize which monitors display notifications and adjust auto-dismiss timing in settings.
You control your friend list—only people you've accepted can ping you. You can remove friends anytime, and there's a cooldown between pings to prevent spam.
When you and a friend are on the same WiFi or ethernet network, PingEM automatically discovers them using Bonjour (Apple's zero-config networking). Pings are sent directly between devices for instant delivery—no cloud round-trip needed. If LAN isn't available, it seamlessly falls back to cloud delivery. You can control this in Settings.
Every ping can be sent as Casual (blue paperplane) or Urgent (red warning). Casual is for "whenever you get a chance"—urgent is for "I need you right now." The recipient sees which type it is, so they can prioritize accordingly. It's about respecting attention while still being able to escalate when needed.
