Using terminal-notifier in Claude Code to get custom notifications (www.andreagrandi.it)

A new integration of the terminal-notifier utility with Claude Code on macOS allows developers to receive custom notifications directly from the command line. This enhancement is particularly significant for those engaged in long-running tasks or those who frequently need user input, as it keeps users updated on their Claude Code sessions while they focus on other work. Terminal-notifier, a command-line tool for macOS, streamlines this process by sending alerts to the Notification Center, making it a valuable addition to automation scripts and development workflows. Setting up terminal-notifier in Claude Code involves a straightforward installation via Homebrew and configuring either through the new /hooks feature or the CLAUDE.md file for custom messages. The integration not only enhances workflow efficiency by providing timely notifications when tasks are completed or when input is required, but it also offers the flexibility of customization according to the developer's needs. By harnessing the capabilities of terminal-notifier alongside Claude Code, developers can create a more responsive and less intrusive development environment, ultimately improving productivity.
