Problem Statement

When Claude Code finishes a long task (coding, refactoring, etc.), there is no way to know it's done unless I'm staring at the terminal. I'm often multitasking in another window (browser, other apps) while Claude Code works for 5-15 minutes. I have to keep switching back to check if it's finished, which breaks my workflow and wastes time.

Proposed Solution

Add an audio notification (bell/beep/sound) when Claude Code completes a task. This could be:

  • A simple terminal bell (\a)
  • A configurable system sound
  • An optional setting to enable/disable it

This would be a huge quality of life improvement for anyone multitasking while Claude Code works on long tasks.

Alternative Solutions

Current workaround is to manually add "run echo -e '\a' when done" at the end of every prompt, but this is easy to forget and unreliable.
