## What it is
JoliNotif is a cross-platform PHP library for displaying desktop notifications from CLI scripts, supporting Linux, Windows (including WSL), and macOS. It auto-detects the best available notifier on the system and also ships a CLI executable for sending notifications from the shell.

## Use cases
- send desktop notifications from a PHP script
- notify me when a long-running CLI task finishes
- show desktop alerts from a CRON job
- cross-platform notifications in PHP on Linux, macOS and Windows
- send a notification from the command line
- alert the user when tests or deployment complete

## When to choose
- you need desktop notifications from PHP CLI scripts across multiple operating systems
- you want automatic detection of the best native notifier per platform
- you need a simple CLI binary to trigger notifications from shell scripts or CRON

## When to avoid
- you need notifications in a web context (FPM) - the library explicitly does not support this
- you need mobile or push notifications rather than desktop ones
- your project runs PHP below 8.3 and you cannot use older releases
