How do I send a push notification to my iPhone from a script?

A script only needs one thing to reach your iPhone: a URL it can POST to. Lert gives you that URL. Drop a one-line curl at the end of a bash script, inside a Python function, or in a cron entry, and the moment execution reaches it your phone buzzes — even locked in your pocket. There's no daemon on the phone, no key in the script, and nothing to keep in sync.

Add it to your script — under 30 seconds

1. Download the app. Open it once on your iPhone. No account.
2. Copy your link. It's on screen — one tap copies it.
3. Paste one line into your script. Put it wherever you want to be notified.

Now the script tells you the second it's done or something breaks.

One line at the end of a bash script

#!/usr/bin/env bash
./run-nightly-import.sh

curl -X POST "https://lert.dev/p/your-id" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"title":"Import finished","body":"Nightly import completed on the server"}'

Guard it with the previous command's exit code to get a "succeeded" or "failed" buzz — ... && curl ... -d "ok" || curl ... -d "FAILED". Scripting in Python instead? See the Python guide, or get pinged when a Python script finishes.

Common ways people use it

• When a cron job runs or fails
• When a deploy finishes
• When a long script finishes
• When an AI agent finishes a task

It's free for one channel and 50 notifications a day; Lert Pro is $2.99/month for unlimited. See the docs for the full API.
