ai-agent-notifier

Desktop & phone notifications for AI coding agents
One tool. One config. Every agent. Never miss when your AI finishes or needs input.

Quick Start

npx ai-agent-notifier setup

That's it. The setup wizard detects your platform and installed AI tools, wires the hooks, and optionally configures phone push notifications. Restart your AI tools to activate.

Features

• Desktop toast notifications -- Windows (BurntToast), macOS (Notification Center), Linux (libnotify)
• Phone push notifications -- Android & iOS via ntfy (free, no account required)
• Click-to-focus -- click the toast to jump back to the terminal or VS Code window (Windows)
• Per-tool branded icons -- each tool gets its own logo in the notification
• One unified config -- shared ~/.ai-agent-notifier/config.json across all tools
• Atomic deduplication -- prevents double notifications (e.g. Cursor's duplicate hook fires)
• Zero dependencies -- pure Node.js built-ins only, no npm production packages

Supported Tools

Tool	VS Code	CLI	Task Complete	Needs Input
Claude Code	Native	Native	Stop	Notification
Codex CLI	Native	Native	Stop	PermissionRequest
Cursor	Native	--	stop	--
Gemini CLI	--	Native	AfterAgent	Notification

All four tools are wired automatically by the setup wizard. No manual config editing needed.

VS Code Native Support

Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor all run inside VS Code. ai-agent-notifier hooks directly into each tool's native hook system -- no VS Code extension required. The setup wizard detects installed tools and patches their configs automatically. Click a notification toast to jump straight back to your VS Code window.
