How do I get a notification when my Python script finishes?

You start a Python script, then wander off to do something else. The question is how to know the moment it's done — without babysitting the terminal. The answer is to have the script tell your phone directly. Lert makes that a single line: your unique link is the credential, so there's no auth, no library, and nothing to configure.

Set it up in under 30 seconds

1. Download the app. Open it once — there's no account to create.
2. Copy your link. A private link like https://lert.dev/p/your-id is on screen; one tap copies it.
3. Add one POST at the end of your script. Put it in a try/finally block so it fires on success and on failure.

That's it. When the script ends, your phone buzzes — even locked in your pocket.

The code

import requests

def notify(title, body):
    requests.post("https://lert.dev/p/your-id",
                  json={"title": title, "body": body})

try:
    run_my_job()            # your actual work
    notify("Script done", "Finished with no errors")
except Exception as e:
    notify("Script failed", str(e))
    raise

No headers beyond JSON, no auth token, no SDK to install. Not a Python person? Tell your AI assistant: "POST to my Lert link when this script finishes — here's the link." It'll wire it in.
