From the README

Claude & Codex Notifier

Plays a sound and shows a notification when Claude Code or Codex finishes a task, needs permission, or asks a question.

Stop watching the screen — go grab a coffee and let your agent ping you when it needs you.

Works with VSCode, terminal CLI, vim, or any editor where you use Claude Code or Codex — on macOS, Windows, WSL, and Linux, including remote hosts over SSH.

What's new — 4.5.0

- Notifications tell you which chat, and what happened. The title now pairs the project with the event (claude-notifier | ✅ finished), and the body leads with the chat's own name — so with several sessions running you can tell them apart without switching windows.

  Underneath sits what actually happened: the closing sentence for a finished task, the command for a permission request, or the question being asked. When there's nothing to report the banner just gets shorter — nothing is padded. (#93, #94)

- All of it is configurable. Each event's label is a free-text field — paste any emoji or wording you like, or empty it to show just the project name. Both body parts have their own switch, so you can keep the chat name and drop the detail, or turn the body back into the single line it used to be. See Notification content. (#99)

What's new — 4.0.0

- Codex support. Codex sessions now drive the same notifications as Claude Code — same sounds, same per-event levels, same mute and auto-mute behaviour. The extension registers hooks in ~/.codex/hooks.json when it finds Codex installed, and does nothing at all when it doesn't. (#83)

  One setup step: Codex won't run newly registered hooks until you trust them, so a fresh install is silent until you do. Run codex in a terminal once and pick Trust all and continue — full steps under Codex.

What's new — 3.7.1
