Alternatively if you're on a Mac and don't want to use audio, you can also just add a Notification Hook (/hooks)

  osascript -e 'display notification "Waiting..." with title "Claude Code"'

You can probably do the equivalent using powershell in windows, and the notify-send [1] in linux.

Love this. I guess I need to build the happy Gilmore meme audio now. “Welllll?!!! We’re waiting!!”

I use Beads with Claude Code + Zed, and just brain dump to Claude to make a bunch of tasks with Beads, I have Claude ask me clarifying questions, then I let Claude go to town. Sometimes I let Claude work in parallel but APC seems to sometimes not like that not sure why.

I sense a branding opportunity here... We already have "elevator music" to designate generic production-music-slop, so what will the next step be?

"OpenAI anything" seems a bit too much, yet "Claude somesuch" or "Grok horrifying" don't work either.

HN Branding Experts, what do you say?

this reminds me of one of my favourite features of Buildkite. When you're waiting on the outcome of a build you can click a button in Canvas mode and it'll play a tune to accompany the build. As soon as the build is done, the music stops.

is really well thought out - means I can turn the volume up and go do the dishes in the next room and be notified when I should return. Much more useful than a browser notification
