Problem Statement

...even with macOS notifications fully enabled. The setting shown in Claude Code web (claude.ai) under General → Notifications → "Response completions" doesn't appear in the desktop app. This makes it impossible to step away during long-running tasks without constantly checking back manually.

Proposed Solution

The desktop app should respect macOS notification permissions and send a system notification when a task completes, matching the behavior already available on the web version.

Alternative Solutions

Use Case Example

I start a long-running task, switch to another app, and lose track of it. By the time I remember and check back, Claude finished 10 minutes ago. A system notification would have let me return immediately when the task was done instead of losing that time.
