Short summary

NockIt is a free, open-source notification utility that sends push alerts to your phone or desktop when autonomous AI agents or long-running scripts finish, crash, or need input. It uses ntfy for lightweight pub/sub messaging and integrates with a single npx command. The author built it to stop manually monitoring terminal output during multi-step agent workflows.

  • Open-source tool that pushes real-time alerts from AI agents to phone/desktop via ntfy
  • Supports task completion, failure, token budget, and human-in-the-loop event notifications
  • Setup via single npx command; includes Python and MCP integration examples

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
