CryptoBeacon is a simple command-line interface tool for cryptocurrency alerts directly into your desktop. It uses the free CoinGecko API to obtain the current prices, sending desktop notification when alarm price targets are reached. The application is built in Python, with the help of Typer and Rich.

pip install --user cryptobeacon

Tracking your favorite cryptocurrencies with CryptoBeacon is easy. Start by adding them to the watchlist, as follows:

cryptobeacon coin add bitcoin

Check the addition using the show command:

cryptobeacon show

Next, you need to add a price target for the alarm:

cryptobeacon alarm add bitcoin 21000

Finally, run the application:

cryptobeacon run

⚠️ Additionally, there are commands to remove coins and alarms from the watchlist, or even to clear it entirely. Use the --help flag for more specific information.
