Real-Time Login Alerts for Windows & Linux — Desktop, RDP, SSH
Receive real-time alerts the instant anyone accesses your machine. Whether you are running a desktop PC or a headless server, Login AlertX monitors local logins, privilege elevations, and remote SSH/RDP sessions across both Windows and Linux. Every alert includes rich forensics like IP and geo-location, plus webcam photo evidence on paid plans, delivered to your favorite channels in seconds.
Physical Access, RDP, SSH — All the Same Blind Spot
While you focus on firewalls and antivirus, someone could be accessing your PC right now — standing in front of it or connecting in remotely over RDP. Traditional security tools rarely watch either. Login AlertX monitors your system before any user session starts, alerting you the exact moment an unauthorized access happens, physical or remote.

Typical Alert Dispatch
Always-On Background Monitoring
Real-Time Access Notifications & Session Tracking
Login AlertX runs in the background as a Windows Service or Linux systemd daemon — monitoring every login, unlock, RDP/SSH session, privilege elevation, and power event before any user session starts.
Login & Session Notifications
Instant alerts on login, unlock, lock, wake, and screen-saver events across Windows 10/11 and Linux desktop. Event-driven detection, not polling, so alerts fire as events happen.
Remote Access & Location Intelligence
Detects incoming Windows RDP and Linux SSH connections with client IP, ISP, city and country, auth method (key vs password), and active TTY. Every alert also carries the network adapter, MAC address, and Linux PAM details.
Elevation & Failed Logins
Real-time alerts on UAC elevation prompts and Linux sudo/su commands. Automatically logs failed login attempts and flags 5+ attempts as brute force.
Offline Alert Resilience
The core engine runs entirely in the background. If the internet drops during a login, your alerts are queued locally and sent as soon as connectivity returns.
Analytics, Trends & Log History
The free plan includes 24-hour history. Personal and above unlock up to 1 year of login trend graphs, automated email summaries, and CSV/HTML report export. Personal+
Headless Server Support
Managing remote infrastructure? Monitor Windows and Linux servers, query stats, and manage settings from the command line — no GUI required. Server

Your Data Stays Under Your Control
Your credentials, evidence, and logs are encrypted and stored locally on the machine itself — not on our servers — whether that’s a Windows PC or a Linux server.
AES-256 Encryption
Sensitive settings, such as SMTP credentials, OAuth tokens, and channel credentials, are stored locally using AES-256 encryption and are never sent to our servers.
Local-First Storage
Your settings, queued offline alerts, evidence, and logs stay on your own machine, AES-256 encrypted, and are not uploaded to our servers. Alerts go only to the channels you enable.
Clean, Transparent Packaging
Available as a Microsoft Store (MSIX) app, a direct installer, and a native .deb or
tarball on Linux. No third-party bundleware, and a public
VirusTotal scan report for the installer.
Minimal Data Collection
For license validation we use your serial key, email address, and a device identifier, sent over HTTPS. Everything else stays on your device.

Why does my antivirus flag it?
Some antivirus tools flag Login AlertX because it monitors logins, manages Windows services, and
can capture images and audio — all intentional security features. This is a false positive. You
can safely whitelist the application, or contact us with your antivirus name and we’ll work
with the vendor to resolve it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Login AlertX slow down my PC or server?
No. Login AlertX runs as a lightweight Windows Service or Linux systemd daemon with an asynchronous alert pipeline. The service typically uses under 25 MB of memory, with no noticeable impact on startup time or day-to-day performance.
Can I use one license key on both Windows and Linux?
Yes. Personal and Business license keys work interchangeably across Windows and Linux desktop machines — no separate purchase needed per OS. The Server plan covers up to 3 server activations specifically for headless server infrastructure.
Does Login AlertX detect Remote Desktop (RDP) and SSH logins?
Yes. Login AlertX monitors incoming Windows RDP connections and Linux SSH logins with client IP, Geo-location, and auth method — triggering the same alert as a physical login.
What does the 30-day trial include?
Every new install unlocks all Premium features for 30 days, with no credit card or account needed. After the trial, the free features keep working and you can upgrade at any time.
What data leaves my device?
Your settings, credentials, captured images and audio, event history, and logs stay on your device. Only what is needed for the features you turn on leaves it, such as license validation and alerts sent to the channels you enable. The Privacy Policy lists exactly what goes where.
What if my PC is offline when something happens?
Events are saved to a local queue on your machine and sent automatically as soon as the connection returns, so alerts are not lost.
Does it work on Windows 7 or 8?
Version 4 requires Windows 10 or 11. If you are on Windows 7 or 8, the v3.7.8 release is available on the download page.
What happens if my antivirus flags Login AlertX?
This is a known false positive — the app monitors logins, manages a background service, and can capture photos and audio, all intentional security features. You can safely whitelist it, or contact us and we will work with your vendor directly.
