Cloud Messenger lets you send notification messages to your phone from anywhere.
With Cloud Messenger, you can notify yourself when automated tasks occur or finish. You could, for example, have Cloud Messenger send you a notification when:
- your favorite torrent client has finished downloading something
- when a batch script finishes
