About Vybit Push Notifications

Vybit (VIBE-it) sends personalized push notifications using sounds that you record or choose from thousands of searchable sounds. Put the information in the sound!

Vybit is a natural fit as an IFTTT ACTION service since the DISTINCT sound YOU CHOOSE will tell you exactly what TRIGGER service event just occurred. No need to look down at your phone, your ears already told you! Vybit also works great as a SECONDARY action service for you IFTTT Pros.

Using Vybit to create an applet is easy. Install the Vybit app on your phone (or sign in on the web), create your vybits, connect your Vybit account to IFTTT, and then choose the desired vybit for your applet.

Never look down at your phone again! Or at least a lot less. :)
