# Render Ping

Point at the end of the render progress bar and press **F4**. Rebind watches those pixels and sends a notification through [ntfy.sh](https://ntfy.sh) to your phone the moment they turn the done color. It works with DaVinci Resolve, Blender, or any app with a progress bar.

Needs Rebind 3.8.0 or newer on Windows or macOS. It requests the `screen` permission and network access to ntfy.sh only. On macOS, turn on **Screen capture** in Rebind's Settings and grant the Screen Recording permission; see [macOS screen capture](https://docs.rebind.gg/concepts/platforms#macos-screen-capture).

## Set up

1. Install the ntfy app on your phone and subscribe to a topic name of your own. Anyone who knows the name can read the messages, so pick something hard to guess.
2. Put the same name in **ntfy.sh topic**.
3. Set **Color when done** to the color the bar shows when it is full.

## Use

Point at the last few pixels of the bar and press **F4**. Press **F4** again to stop watching.

## Limits

- It checks every 2 seconds, within a 10 percent color tolerance, in a 7 by 7 pixel square around where the pointer was.
- The message goes to ntfy.sh's public server.
- If the screen cannot be read, watching stops and a notice says why.
- Notices appear in Rebind. To see them on the desktop, turn on **Desktop notifications** in Rebind's settings.
- Live use remains unverified on Windows and macOS.

## Stop

Stop the package from the editor toolbar, or press **Left Ctrl + Left Alt + K** (**Left Control + Left Option + K** on macOS) to stop all scripts.
