From repository
to quiet watcher.
The monitor runs in GitHub Actions, keeps private state in a small workflow cache, publishes this dashboard through Cloudflare Pages, and sends free iPhone alerts through ntfy.
02 · GitHub secret
Add NTFY_TOPIC
In the repository, open Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions, create a repository secret named NTFY_TOPIC, and paste the topic.
03 · Cloudflare Pages
Create a Direct Upload project
Create the free project, then add CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID and CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN as GitHub Actions secrets. The repository remains private.
04 · First run
Run IMAX Watch manually once
Open Actions → IMAX Watch → Run workflow. The first run establishes a baseline and does not send a notification storm.
05 · Test
Use the notification test workflow input
Run the workflow with “send test notification” enabled. If the ntfy app receives it, setup is complete.
No secrets in the dashboard
READY
The dashboard artifact never contains your ntfy topic or token.
