Codex Alerts in Notchly
A small Notchly update for Codex users: completion alerts, approval sounds, and a quick settings switch.
Notchly now has a dedicated Codex section in settings. You can enable transparent completion alerts through a local Stop hook, then let Notchly quietly tell you when Codex needs approval or finishes a task. The same alert experience now works with Claude Code too.
Claude Code support
Claude Code is already supported in Notchly. Once enabled, it can surface approval and task completion events in the notch, so you do not have to keep watching the terminal while an agent works.
How to enable it
Open Notchly settings and choose Codex from the sidebar. The setup is just a few steps:
- 1. Turn on Codex Alerts.
- 2. Enable Need Approval Sound if you want to hear when Codex is waiting for your approval.
- 3. Enable Task Completed Sound if you want to hear when Codex finishes a task.
- 4. Restart Codex so the local Stop hook can start sending completion events to Notchly.
- Optional: adjust Job Done Duration to choose how long the completion alert stays visible.
What it does
Once enabled, Notchly can show a transparent completion alert when Codex finishes and play subtle sounds for approval requests or completed tasks. It is a small addition, but it makes long Codex sessions easier to follow without constantly watching the terminal.
Preview
There is also a short video preview showing the alert in action. I will keep the article light here, but the preview is useful if you want to see how it feels during a real Codex session.
