Show HN: Telert – Telegram/Slack/Desktop alerts when terminal commands finish

1 point

a year ago

I created a small tool called telert that notifies you when your terminal commands complete. It is lightweight, easy to install, and simple to plug into your daily workflow.

Key features: - Command-line utility and Python hook - Cross-platform support (Telegram, Teams, Slack, desktop notifications, and audio alerts) - Customizable messages with status codes and output - Auto-notify when a command takes longer to complete

Quick start: pip install telert telert config audio (to enable audio alerts) sleep 3 | telert (get notified when the command finishes)

GitHub repository: https://github.com/navig-me/telert

I originally built this to get quick alerts for myself while running long bash or Python scripts, and thought it might help others too. Would love any feedback, suggestions, or ideas to improve it.
