Bitcoin (BTC) price alerts and alarms
Crypto Alerts & Alarms tells you when Bitcoin crosses a price you set or moves by a percentage you choose, on any of 56 BTC pairs: 15 on Binance, 6 on Coinbase, 18 on Kraken, 12 on Bybit and 5 on KuCoin. Alerts arrive as push notifications and can ring as a full-screen alarm through silent mode on Android.
Android only for now. An iPhone version is in development.

Good to know before you set Bitcoin alerts
Pick BTC itself. WBTC and tBTC, which the app also lists, are separate tokens that represent bitcoin on other networks, and they trade at their own prices. Bitcoin is also the price side of more than a hundred other pairs in the app, such as ETH/BTC: an alert on one of those follows the other coin’s price in bitcoin, not bitcoin’s own price.

Bitcoin alert ideas
- Sized to Bitcoin’s moves. Over the last 90 days its typical daily move was 0.80%, and it moved 5% or more on 6 days. A percentage alert measures from the price at the moment you set it.
- In your own currency. BTC has euro pairs on Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, Bybit and KuCoin; Brazilian real and Turkish lira pairs on Binance and Bybit; Japanese yen pairs on Binance and Kraken; British pound pairs on Coinbase and Kraken; Argentine peso, Indonesian rupiah, Mexican peso and Thai baht pairs on Binance; Indian rupee pairs on Coinbase; Australian dollar, Canadian dollar and Swiss franc pairs on Kraken; and UAE dirham and Polish zloty pairs on Bybit.
Repeating alerts, both-sides alerts and delivery: how the alerts work.
Bitcoin alerts: common questions
Which BTC price does the alert follow?
The pair and exchange you pick. BTC/USDT on Binance and BTC/USD on Coinbase rarely trade at exactly the same price, so the alert follows the one you chose.
Can I set Bitcoin alerts in euros?
Yes: BTC/EUR trades on Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, Bybit and KuCoin, so the alert follows Bitcoin in euros there.
