Fake Notification Video Maker

The lock-screen stack: one alert lands, then the missed calls and texts tell the story.

Chatimator recreates the iOS lock screen — padlock, date, the big clock, the flashlight and camera buttons — and drops notification cards onto it one at a time, with the same spring animation and sound as a real alert. It's built for the 'notification stack' format: a salary that lands with two extra zeros, then 43 missed calls from the boss, then a panicked chat message asking you to call back.

Every card is yours to write: pick the app (phone, texts, chat, DMs, bank, mail or a custom app with your own icon), the sender, the title, the body and the relative time ('15m ago', 'il y a 15 minutes' — any language). Export an animated 9:16 MP4 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, or a still PNG of the finished stack. The lock-screen format is part of Chatimator Pro ($5.99/mo), alongside unlimited 1080p 60fps exports with no watermark.

What you get

Real lock-screen chrome

Padlock, date line, the big clock (set to any time), status bar, Dynamic Island or notch, flashlight and camera buttons, home indicator — on the device you pick.

Any app, your icon

Built-in phone, messages, chat, DM, bank and mail tiles, plus custom apps with an uploaded icon — so the bank alert can be your bank.

Missed calls and messages

Contact apps show the sender's avatar with an app badge, exactly like the real thing; '43 missed calls' is one line of text.

Timed drops with sound

Cards land one by one with a spring and the alert tone baked into the export audio; add a Wait before the big card so it hits.

AI writes the stack

Describe what happened — 'flight cancelled the morning of the wedding' — and AI writes the whole sequence, apps, senders and times included.

Frequently asked questions

Is the lock-screen format free?

The lock-screen notification style is part of Chatimator Pro ($5.99/month), which also includes unlimited 1080p 60fps exports with no watermark and every device frame. The chat platforms — iMessage, WhatsApp and Instagram DM — are available on the free plan.

Can I make a fake bank notification?

Yes — pick the Bank app, name it whatever you like and optionally upload its icon; the body is free text, so any currency or format works.

Does it animate, or is it just a screenshot?

Both. The video shows each notification dropping in on the lock screen with sound; the PNG export gives you the finished stack as a still image.

Can I write the notifications in another language?

Yes. Titles, bodies, the date line and the relative time are all free text — 'il y a 15 minutes', 'hace 2 h', anything.

Is it okay to make fake notification videos?

For skits, memes and mockups, yes — it's a standard comedy format. Don't use fake alerts to defraud or defame real people or institutions, and label fictional content clearly.
