<p>I use Bitcoin Checker in my phone, it has a plethora of exchanges but it doesn't have Bitcoincharts, most probably because Bitcoincharts doesn't seem to be a Bitcoin exchange, thus being irrelevant for the use of a price alert app. </p>

<p>In this open source app you can track Bitcoin price in different exchanges and set the alert to a % of variation from the last price, I think it is a great app.</p>

<p>If you know a little bit of scripting and you are in Linux, you can make a simple script (using curl or wget for instance) that do exactly what you want. Check <a href="http://bitcoincharts.com/about/markets-api/" rel="nofollow">this</a> out.</p>

<p>You can try this <a href="http://www.coinpatrol.com" rel="nofollow">bitcoin price alert</a> service. It isn't tied specifically to bitcoincharts, but it supports some of the bigger exchanges and can send notifications through text or e-mail.</p>

<p>Is there a Bitcoin price alert application that can use data from BitcoinCharts.com?  Something like a windows desktop alert is what I have in mind. </p>

<p>I need this as I am trying to monitor prices of different exchanges such as localbitcoins.</p>

<p>If not then I may write a quick application for it and post it here.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

When you say "alert" can you be more specific?  Send an email? have (insert specified OS or device) pop up a notification? Etc

@NeilNeyman Thanks but that web app only uses mtgox data. And by alert I just mean any form of alert. Desktop alert would be best. I am thinking about writing a C# app that sits in the system tray polling bitcoincharts. Something like that would be ideal

Is there a Bitcoin price alert application that can use data from BitcoinCharts.com? Something like a windows desktop alert is what I have in mind.

I need this as I am trying to monitor prices of different exchanges such as localbitcoins.
