claude-code-notify

agentic-coding-notify

macOS notification preferences for local agent apps and CLIs.

This repo ships one shared notification layer with four entrypoints:

• Claude Code through the backwards-compatible claude-code-notify plugin.
• Codex through the notify = [...] hook in ~/.codex/config.toml.
• OpenCode through a dedicated adapter script.
• Pi through a dedicated adapter script.

The repo name is agentic-coding-notify; the Claude plugin name intentionally remains claude-code-notify so existing Claude installs keep working.

Quick start

Install the macOS notification dependency:

brew install terminal-notifier

Run the local preferences UI:

python3 web/notify_ui.py --open

Open http://127.0.0.1:8765, choose the voice/sounds/text templates, test samples, then save or export the config.

Install the adapter you use:

Environment	Install path	Details
Claude Code	claude plugin install claude-code-notify@agentic-coding-notify	docs/adapters.md#claude-code
Codex	bash adapters/codex/install.sh --print-config	docs/adapters.md#codex
OpenCode	bash adapters/opencode/install.sh	docs/adapters.md#opencode
Pi	bash adapters/pi/install.sh	docs/adapters.md#pi

What it does

When an adapter fires, you get:

1. a desktop notification via terminal-notifier when available;
2. a configurable notification sound;
3. an optional start sound;
4. a short spoken label using macOS say;
5. an optional end sound.

The spoken text is context-aware:

• app sessions can say just the app name, e.g. Codex App;
• CLI sessions can combine the service plus a short tab/profile label, e.g. Codex One;
• Codex App is detected explicitly and speaks as Codex App, not a truncated CLI label.

Local preferences UI

The local web UI is light-mode-only and uses a retro N64-gray console-panel style. It is self-contained: no external CSS, no external icon packs, and no remote assets.

It supports:

• searchable, scrollable comboboxes for voices, sounds, templates, and service names;
• type-to-filter fields that still show the full option list when focused;
• combobox show-off modes: cycle every option once, or enter SHOW OFF SELECTION, pick values, then cycle only those values once;
• an × clear control for show-off selections;
• one-button Play/Stop sample toggles for voice and every sound field;
• automatic sample playback when changing voice or sound selections;
• a standard voice sample phrase: Agentic Coding Notify;
• speech-rate tuning with say -r words per minute;
• a live preview for service, tab label, text, voice, and sounds;
• visible confirmation feedback for save, export, dry-run, notification, preset, sample, and show-off actions;
• hover/focus tooltips on each button and action;
• export of the current UI state to agentic-coding-notify-config.json;
• disclosure guidance for terminal labels;
• a CLI-only toggle to speak or omit the terminal tab title.

Preferences are saved to:

~/.agentic-coding-notify/config.json

Default config:

{
  "voice": "Zarvox",
  "rate": "250",
  "notification_sound": "Submarine",
  "start_sound": "Basso",
  "end_sound": "Submarine",
  "app_voice_text_template": "{service} App",
  "cli_voice_text_template": "{service} {label}",
  "voice_text_template": "",
  "speak_tab_title": "true"
}

Template placeholders:

Placeholder	Meaning
{service}	Claude, Codex, OpenCode, or Pi
{label}	app label, terminal tab/profile name, or cwd fallback
{voice_label}	adapter-computed fallback spoken text
{message}	agent message preview used in tests/templates
{context}	app or cli

Running and stopping the UI

Run in the foreground:

python3 web/notify_ui.py --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8765

Or run and open the browser automatically:

python3 web/notify_ui.py --open

Stop a foreground server with Ctrl-C. If a background server is listening on the default port:

lsof -tiTCP:8765 -sTCP:LISTEN | xargs kill

Check whether it is still running:

lsof -iTCP:8765 -sTCP:LISTEN -n -P

On this Mac the local Python UI process measured about 18 MB RSS while serving the page. Voice and sound option lists are cached after the first /api/options request to avoid repeated macOS scans.
