VaxAlert is a tool for notifying of new COVID-19 vaccine appointments within a given date range and distance. It uses the API provided by the wonderful COVID-19 Vaccine Spotter website. The notifications happen over SMS via Twilio, so a Twilio account is required. You can get a free trial with them for two weeks!
