✨ NCID-ALERT 💖

okay bestie, listen up — this is a page from the NCID manual, and it's about ncid-alert, the output module that sends NCID call or message desktop notifications. yeah. the lil popups. the ones that go ding and tell you who's calling. we're doing this. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ncid-alert — send NCID call or message desktop notifications 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ncid --no-gui --module ncid-alert

ncid --module ncid-alert

like, pick your vibe. no-gui mode or gui mode, both work. periodt.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the ncid-alert output module sends NCID call and message desktop notifications straight to you via a notification daemon — from the command line, no cap. It puts the Caller ID or the message right there in the desktop notification. it's giving main character energy, honestly. 🌈

And if you want ncid running in GUI mode along with ncid-alert? say less:

ncid --module ncid-alert
