Hey atmosx, 

I like the idea of this - I much prefer Pushover for this sort of

Argosnap is a ruby script that displays the current picoUSD amount in console and can be used to notify the user when his tarsnap account falls below a predefined picoUSD threshold. It supports pushover, email and osx notifications. Tarsnap uses mechanize to fetch data from the website.

Since my ‘spamd’ setup far from perfect, I was afraid that I might miss the two-emails notice. Personally, I prefer ‘pushover’ notifications to my mobile for something like backups.
