alt Hacker News> Claude Code doesn't notify you when it finishes or needs permission. You tab away, lose focus, and waste 15 minutes getting back into flow.
On macOS, in iTerm2, Claude will trigger notifications. I was impressed!
(and also annoyed: I don't like notifications. Then again, I don't have Claude do long things where I can go get a coffee)
The thing with notifications is that a lot of apps go so overboard with them that I generally choose to silence them completely. This has totally led to important notifications being unseen for some time, but for the peace it is a price I'm ready to pay. Being able to configure notifications with high granularity is something I still have to discover.
