Does there exist a program that sends me a message (email accepted) to my smartphone whenever someone start my computer?

  • I need it because I want to know when someone uses my computer when I'm not there (the computer is considered as always online).
  • I want the application to run on Windows.

    @aman207 Edited, do I need to add more in there?

  • @3azi no worries. I will work on it now. I've always wanted something like this, too. Now I have a reason to make it. What version of Windows are you running?

    This question is still lacking lots of information: communcation protocols, what sort of “smartphones” including versions, etc. – unless you just want a generic eMail, which is trivial…

I use KakaoTalk (free with over 100 million users) for this. I installed the Windows client for KakaoTalk, each time Windows starts it sends a message to my KakaoTalk client on Android (works on iPhone and Windows Phone too):

The main issue is that it only works for one computer since you cannot be logged on several computers at once.

    @3azi - it seems to fit the requirements in your question. Maybe you should expand the question with whatever it is that this program doesn't have and that you do want to have

  • What if the PC user closes KakaoTalk as soon as it starts loading?
