UserAlertX
UserToolX
Small, ready-to-run programs that send you a UserAlertX alert. Download one, run it, done. They're short and commented, so they're also good starting code for your own.

Looking for the page watcher or home-screen links? They're tools now, with the others at UserToolX.
You need your API key. It's on your account screen. Run uxsend once: it asks for the key and offers to save it, and every other tool here then finds it automatically.
Every tool also has a dry-run mode that shows what it would send without sending: set USERALERTX_DRYRUN=1 (Mac/Linux) or $env:USERALERTX_DRYRUN="1" (Windows PowerShell).
Get everything at once: Windows tools (zip) · Mac / Linux tools (zip)
Want one of these sooner, or something else? Let us know.
The saved key file (.useralertx_key in your home folder) lets anyone who can use your computer account send alerts as you. Don't put it on a shared computer. If it ever leaks, make a new key on your account screen — the old one stops working immediately.
