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.
