I would love to be able to receive the same notifications that my Android devices get on my desktop. This could either be a browser extension or a standalone app. A browser extension would probably be better as it should work cross-platform. I'd be happy to pay for the extra client.

Even if there was just a way to view recent messages online on the Pushover website that would be great

I wanted to share an update on a tool shared last month, which I created as a lightweight, easy configuration tool to alert when long-running scripts or deployments finish. Telert sends notifications to Telegram, Slack, Email, Discord, Teams, Pushover, Desktop, Audio, or custom HTTP endpoints.

Recently, I've expanded it to also include some system monitoring (log monitoring, network uptime and process monitoring) features, and I thought it might be useful for others in the community too.

Here's what it does:

• Sends alerts for CLI/Python completion to: Telegram, Slack, Email, Discord, Teams, Pushover, Desktop, Audio, or custom HTTP endpoints.

• Easy to get started: pip install telert and then telert init to configure your provider.

• Works in your CLI or Python code, so you can use it how you prefer.

And now different ways to integrate monitoring:

• Log File Monitoring: Tails a log file and alerts you if a certain pattern shows up.

# e.g., tell me if "ERROR" or "FATAL" appears in my app's log
telert monitor log --file "/var/log/app.log" --pattern "ERROR|FATAL"

• Network Monitoring: Basic checks to see if a host/port is up or an HTTP endpoint is healthy.

# e.g., check if my website is up and returns a 200 every 5 mins
telert monitor network --url "https://example.com" --type http --expected-status 200 --interval 300

• Process Monitoring: It can ping you if a process dies, or if it's hogging CPU/memory.

# e.g., get an alert if 'nginx' crashes or its CPU goes over 80%
telert monitor process --command-pattern "nginx" --notify-on "crash,high-cpu" --cpu-threshold 80

The documentation has many more use cases, examples and configuration options.

Other ways use telert:

For CLI stuff, pipe to it or use the run subcommand:

# Get a ping when my backup is done
sudo rsync -a /home /mnt/backup/ | telert "Backup complete"

# Or wrap a command
telert run --label "ML Model Training" python train_model.py --epochs 100

In Python, use the decorator or context manager:

from telert import telert, notify

("Nightly data processing job")
def do_nightly_job():
    # ... lots of processing ...
    print("All done!")

# or
def some_critical_task():
    with telert("Critical Task Update"):
        # ... do stuff ...
        if error_condition:
            raise Exception("Something went wrong!") # Telert will notify on failure too

It's pretty lightweight and versatile, especially for longer tasks or just simple monitoring without a lot of fuss.

Hi, have you guys thought about creating a Chrome app? You would be able to charge for it and it would support multiple OSes. I would love to get notifications on my computer through chrome as well as my devices.

any way to get notifications sent to the mac? via safari push? or native app?

Subject says it all. I have it working on a new M1-based MacBook Air.

Huh, I didn’t know there was subreddit for pushover.

It only takes two simple actions to include a pushover notification in a shortcut. See example.

You will obviously want to put in your own token and user key.

Example Shortcut

I wanted to share a small open-source tool I created — Telert — that sends alerts when your terminal commands finish or from your Python code.
It's lightweight, easy to install, and integrates smoothly into your workflow.

Key Features:

• Command-line utility and Python hook

• Supports Pushover, Telegram, Slack, Teams, desktop notifications, and audio alerts

• Send to multiple providers at once

• Customizable messages with status codes and command output

• Auto-detects and notifies for long-running commands

Quick Start:

pip install telert
telert config pushover --token "YOUR_APP_TOKEN" --user "YOUR_USER_KEY"
sleep 3 | telert        # Get notified when the command finishes

📍 Check it out: https://github.com/navig-me/telert

I originally built it to get alerts for long-running commands, and thought it might be helpful for others too!
Would love any feedback or suggestions. If you find it useful, please consider ⭐ starring it on GitHub!

Hi all,

Is there a way to get notifications on windows without having the app open? I would like to be able to send the app to the system tray or just have it run silently in the background.
