🔔
Real-time live alerts
The server polls the streaming platform around the clock and sends a push notification the moment someone goes live. Alerts arrive with the app closed, and there is no limit on how many you get.
iPhone app
The second they go live, your phone knows.
妮妮来了 keeps watch on your favourite Douyin streamers from the server side, 24 hours a day, and pushes an alert the moment a stream starts — you don't have to keep the app open, or open it at all.
iPhone app
Free
Chinese
Home Screen widget
Never miss the start of a stream.
Alerts, session history, and a widget — all driven by a server that keeps watching while your phone sleeps.
👥
A roster you control
Start from the built-in streamer roster, then add any Douyin ID yourself — paste the live-room link and it's picked up. Subscribe one by one, or turn the whole roster on with a single tap.
🕒
Session history
Every stream is recorded with its start, end, and length. Streams that run past midnight are shown across both dates, and if a stream was already running before monitoring began, the app says so instead of guessing a start time.
🏁
Wrap-up summary
Optional, and off by default: one notification when a stream ends, telling you how long it ran — plus the day's running total if there was more than one session.
🌙
Quiet hours
Pick the hours you don't want to be woken up and nothing is pushed during that window. The window is interpreted in your phone's own time zone, not the server's.
💤
Time-off notices
If a streamer newly adds a "taking a break" line to their Douyin bio, you get a heads-up with their own wording shown as-is. It's a convenience, not a guarantee — a break announced only on stream can't be read.
📱
Home Screen widget
See who's live without opening the app. The widget refreshes on its own, counts up the elapsed time, and labels the timestamp rather than passing stale data off as current.
💬
Community meme wiki
An in-app feed of running jokes and catchphrases, every entry carrying a link to where it came from. Viewers can submit their own; submissions are reviewed before they appear.
🍎
Sign-in is optional
Every feature works without an account. Sign in with Apple only if you want the streamers you added, the memes you submitted, and your likes to follow you to a new phone.
How the alerts actually work
The watching happens on a server, not on your phone
iOS won't let an app poll a website in the background all night, so 妮妮来了 doesn't try. A server checks the streamers on your list every half minute and, when one goes live, sends the notification through Apple's push service. Your phone only has to receive it — the app can be closed, backgrounded, or freshly restarted.
Timings are honest about their margin
Start and end times are the moments the server detected the change, which can trail the real ones by up to about a minute. Session lengths are calculated from those detections, and a session that was already running when monitoring started is marked as such rather than being backdated.
Alert counts mean delivered alerts
The "alerted N times" figure counts only notifications that actually reached your phone. The app noticing someone is live while you have it open is a refresh, not an alert, and isn't counted.
