How do I send a notification to my phone from my computer?

The bridge between your computer and your phone is a single URL. You install Lert on the phone, and it hands you a private link. Anything on your computer that can make an HTTP request — curl in a terminal, a Python or Node script, a cron entry, a Makefile, even a keyboard-shortcut app — can POST to that link and light up your phone. There's no pairing, no account, and no local daemon to keep running.

The setup — under 30 seconds

1. Download the app. Open it once on your phone. No account to create.
2. Copy your link. It's on screen the moment you open the app — one tap copies it.
3. Use it from your computer. Paste the link into a script, a terminal command, or any app that can send an HTTP request.

Now your desktop can tap you on the shoulder from anywhere.

From a terminal on your computer

curl -X POST "https://lert.dev/p/your-id" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"title":"Backup complete","body":"Nightly backup finished on my Mac"}'

Chain it after any long command — make build && curl -X POST https://lert.dev/p/your-id -d "build done" — and your phone tells you the moment it's finished. Prefer scripting it? See the Python guide or the curl guide.

Common ways people use it

• When a deploy or build finishes
• When a scheduled job runs
• When an AI agent finishes a task
• When a long Python script finishes

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.
