Live Activities, without the backend headache.

An iOS SDK to start a Live Activity. Send a test update from the dashboard. Your backend takes over HTTP when you are ready.

Built for developers. No enterprise sales pitch.

iOS SDK. First update from the dashboard.

import LiveHive

LiveHive.configure(publicKey: "lh_pub_...")

let activity = try LiveHive.start()

The iOS SDK starts the activity and registers the token. Send a test update from the dashboard, then POST from your server.

Live Activities are great. Building them isn’t.

You shouldn’t have to build an entire notification infrastructure just to put useful information on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.

How it works.

You keep a Widget Extension and your product logic. The iOS SDK starts the Live Activity and registers the token. First update can come from the dashboard. Your backend talks HTTP when you are ready.

The iOS SDK registers the push token. Your backend never sees it. First success does not require a backend.

We handle the annoying parts.

APNs

Push delivery infrastructure built specifically for Live Activities, so you are not maintaining your own notification stack.

Tokens

The iOS SDK registers Live Activity push tokens with Live Hive. Your backend never needs a token-forwarding endpoint.

Lifecycle

Register, update, expire, and end activities reliably.

Delivery

Retries, deduplication, and sensible update handling.

Observability

See what happened when an update doesn’t arrive.

Apple Constraints

Build around the realities of ActivityKit and iOS delivery.

One thing. Done well.

Existing platforms bundle Live Activities into broader messaging and customer-engagement products. This is different.

We’re building infrastructure specifically for developers who just want Live Activities to work.
