How do I get my Cursor project to notify my phone?
The easiest way is Lert. Download the app, copy your link, and ask Cursor to POST to it when something happens — your phone buzzes in about a second. No account, no API keys, no SDK. Cursor can add it in one edit.
Cursor is happy to write the code — the hard part with normal push notifications is everything around the code: Apple certificates, device tokens, a server to send from. You can skip all of it. With Lert, your project sends one web request to your personal link and your phone buzzes. Whether you want a ping when a long build finishes, an order lands, or your app hits an error, Cursor can wire it in for you.
The whole thing takes under 30 seconds
- Download the app. Open it once — there's no account to create.
- Copy your link. A private link is waiting on screen the moment you open it. One tap copies it.
- Ask Cursor. Paste the prompt below into Cursor's chat with your link, and it adds the notification.
From then on, whenever your event fires, your phone buzzes — instantly, even locked in your pocket.
Paste this to Cursor
Add a Lert notification when the app hits an error. Send a
POST request to https://lert.dev/p/your-id with a JSON body
{"title": "App error", "body": "Something broke, check it"}.
Here's my link: <paste yours>
A Lert notification is a single HTTP POST with a JSON body of {title, body} — no headers beyond content type, no auth token, no library to install. Cursor already knows how to make an HTTP request in your project's language, so it drops the call right where the event happens.
Why it's this easy: your Lert link is the credential. There's nothing to configure, no secret to store, no push certificate to manage. If Cursor can send a web request — and it can — it can send you a notification.
