Stop Waiting for Claude Code — Get Notified When Your Prompt Finishes

Younan Nwesre — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 19:58:52 +0000

When working with Claude Code, I noticed something that kept slowing down my workflow.

Sometimes prompts take a while to finish.

I often found myself just staring at the terminal, waiting to see when Claude would finish running the prompt.

Another situation happened even more often.

I had multiple Claude sessions open.

I would switch between them, working on different prompts, and later realize that one of the sessions had been waiting for my command the whole time — and I didn't notice.

It was a small friction, but it happened often enough to become annoying.

So I built a small solution.

NotifyMe for Claude Code

NotifyMe is a lightweight plugin that sends you a notification when Claude finishes running your prompt.

The goal is simple: don't wait in the terminal anymore.

Why I Built It

When using AI coding tools, prompts can take time to run, especially when:

generating larger pieces of code

running agent workflows

iterating on complex prompts

Instead of waiting, I wanted the ability to:

run a prompt

switch to another task

get notified when the result is ready

What It Helps With

NotifyMe improves the workflow when using Claude Code by allowing you to:

run long prompts without waiting

step away while Claude works

manage multiple Claude sessions more easily

get notified immediately when the result is ready

It’s intentionally simple and lightweight.

Example Workflow

Typical flow with NotifyMe:

Run a prompt in Claude Code

Continue working on something else

Receive a notification when Claude finishes

Return to the terminal and review the output

This small change removes a lot of unnecessary waiting.

If you are using Claude Code heavily or experimenting with AI agents, this might make your workflow a bit smoother.
