Something that only works on the LAN is acceptable. Run some app in the phone that receives a ping from the computer would suffice.
You have to pay one way or another. Either with your own time or by purchasing an app.
Yeah, well, I have lowered my goals. Sending a beep from computer to phone, while in the same LAN, would suffice.
Check out mqtt. I have mosquitto running on my router and home assistant for many sensors at home. Maybe not the easiest of things but once you get it going it can do quite a few things. I also have the "owntracks" app on my phone and it sends gps coordinates to my mosquitto server.

Hum.
kdeconnect can also do quite a few things. I often use it to send clipboard between laptop and phone. I believe it can receive notifications from the desktop.
That's very interesting. It seems the two devices have to be paired while in the LAN. Will it survive days? Like going out, or computer rebooting. The other caveat is, I don't run KDE. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
