🎯 The Problem

Running multiple Claude Code terminals? You know the pain:

🔄 The Endless Check Loop:

Tab 1: Still running? ❌
Tab 2: Done yet? ❌  
Tab 3: Finally! ✅
Tab 4: Wait... finished 10 minutes ago 😭

⏱️ Daily time wasted switching between terminals: 30+ minutes

🤯 The result: Constant context switching, missed completions, and idle Claude instances

✨ The Solution

Claude Code Reminder gives your terminals smart notifications! Choose your preferred style:

🆕 System Notifications (Default)

• 📱 Native Windows 10/11 notifications - Modern toast notifications with icons
• 🎯 Visual alerts - See which project needs attention without interrupting your flow
• 🔕 Respects Do Not Disturb - Follows your Windows notification settings

🔊 Voice Notifications (Classic)

• 🎵 "backend task completed" - Hear exactly which project is done
• 🗣️ Multi-language support - Automatic Chinese/English detection
• 🎯 Audio alerts - Perfect for when you're away from screen

🚀 Quick Start

Windows Installation (PowerShell)

# Default: System notifications (Recommended)
iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stevenYZZ/claude-code-reminder/master/install.ps1 | iex

# Optional: Install with dependencies for best experience
pip install plyer

macOS Installation

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stevenYZZ/claude-code-reminder/master/install.sh | bash

Advanced Options

# Use voice notifications instead
.\install_notify.ps1 -Voice

# Install with dependencies
.\install_notify.ps1 -InstallDeps

📖 How It Works

Imagine managing multiple Claude Code sessions:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Terminal 1: ~/backend                              │
│ > claude "refactor authentication system"          │
│ 🔄 Working...                                      │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Terminal 2: ~/frontend                             │
│ > claude "optimize homepage performance"           │
│ 🔄 Working...                                      │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Terminal 3: ~/docs                                 │
│ > claude "update API documentation"                │
│ 🔄 Working...                                      │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

                     ↓ Later ↓

     🔊 "backend: task completed"        ← Terminal 1 done!
     🔊 "frontend: needs confirmation"   ← Terminal 2 needs you!

Manual Configuration

If the installation script doesn't work:

Step 1: Copy Hook Script

Copy the appropriate script from scripts/ to ~/.claude/reminder.py:

• Windows (Notifications): scripts/reminder_windows_notify.py (Recommended)
• Windows (Voice): scripts/reminder_windows.py
• macOS: scripts/reminder_macos.py
• Linux: scripts/reminder_linux.py

Step 2: Update settings.json

Add to your ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "hooks": {
    "Stop": [{"hooks": [{"type": "command", "command": "python ~/.claude/reminder.py", "timeout": 1}]}],
    "Notification": [{"hooks": [{"type": "command", "command": "python ~/.claude/reminder.py", "timeout": 1}]}]
  }
}

Use python3 on macOS/Linux, and full Windows paths like C:/Users/USERNAME/.claude/reminder.py.
