Coding agent notifications on Mac
Coding agents work for minutes at a time, then stop to ask a question or wait for approval. These guides cover every way to hear about it on a Mac: what each agent does on its own, how to add a hook, and where a notch status app like Ambient fits.
- Claude Code notifications on MacBuilt-in alerts in Ghostty, Kitty and iTerm2, the terminal bell, Notification and Stop hooks.
- Codex notifications on MacTUI notifications, the notify program, and Codex hooks for approvals.
- Gemini CLI notifications on MacenableNotifications, and AfterAgent and Notification hooks.
