About ClaudeCodeNotify
ClaudeCodeNotify shows a notification in the middle of the screen when Claude Code asks for permission, is idle waiting for input, or finishes a task. Pressing Enter or clicking the card takes you to the terminal where that session runs. It does not approve or block anything: you still answer in the terminal. Connecting it installs hooks in ~/.claude/settings.json and keeps a backup of the file first. It suits people who leave Claude Code running in the background while they work on something else.
It needs macOS 12 or later and is a universal binary for Intel and Apple silicon. The app is unsigned and not notarized, so the first launch must be allowed in System Settings; the README gives right-click, Open as the simplest route.
