Stop babysitting your AI agents in the terminal — NockIt sends push alerts straight to your phone (Nockit)

If you're running autonomous AI agents, fine-tuning scripts, or long background jobs, you know the drill: you hit enter, switch to another tab to work on something else, and then spend the next hour periodically flipping back to the terminal just to check if: It finished. It hit an unhandled exception 30 seconds after you looked away. It's waiting on user input or a permission prompt. Watching lines of terminal output scroll by isn't a good use of anyone's time. To solve this for my own workflow, I built NockIt—a free, open-source, plug-and-play notification utility that hooks into your local or remote AI agents and pushes real-time alerts directly to your phone or desktop via ntfy. Learn More: https://nockit.uk NockIt provides a simple, zero-bloat bridge between your autonomous dev pipelines and your devices. 🔌 Plug & Play Integration: Add it to your execution loops or script completion hooks with minimal lines of code. 📱 Powered by ntfy: Uses lightweight pub/sub push notifications—no clunky enterprise webhooks or complex bot setups required. ⚡ Instant Event Pings: Receive push notifications for task completions, script failures, token budget limits, or required human-in-the-loop actions. 🔓 100% Free & Open Source: Keep your tooling local and transparent. Instead of keeping your terminal pinned to your screen while your agent runs through an multi-step workflow, you can trigger a push alert when key state changes happen: import requests def notify_dev(title, message, priority="default"): requests.post( "https://ntfy.sh/your_custom_nockit_topic", data=message.encode('utf-8'), headers={ "Title": title, "Priority": priority, "Tags": "robot,warning" } ) # Inside your agent's execution loop: try: agent.run_task() notify_dev("Agent Finished!", "Task completed successfully without errors.") except Exception as e: notify_dev("Agent Crashed 🚨", f"Error encountered: {str(e)}", priority="high") Ofc, no one wants to write such long code! Just set it up via a single command (requires Node Js installed): npx -y nockit-mcp@latest setup I'd love for the community to test it out and share feedback!
