I mean.. You're making a tool to detect "symptoms" instead of going after the disease itself ( which is fixing your security ).

Well, not exactly. This tool is for keeping me (or anyone) informed about debits and credits without opening a wallet application.

I'm good with my security, as my bank is good with theirs, but they still notify me and I appreciate that.

This tool isn't going to help you majority of the time, because bitcoin is nothing like a bank. You can't "reverse" a transaction. At most you can doublespend and get confirmed earlier, but you'll have to be really, really lucky for that to happen, especially with the current mempool. ( Which is pretty empty, anyone who puts an above average tx fee will get confirmed within the next block...).

Luck increases with being timely informed, doesn't it?

Hello everyone.

My bank sends me SMS messages when I have funds arriving or spend them.
I find these SMS very handy, so if I see any unauthorised transaction, I can do something about it.

I thought it might be helpful as well to have a bitcoin transaction notification service.

And in my spare time I created one: https://bitcoinalarm.systems

Could you please tell me if such a service might be helpful to you?

A better idea would be to just improve your security, do some virus scans, don't install weird shit, and just keep your wallet safe.
