The moment Claude Code, Codex or Cursor needs your input or finishes, NotCode plays a sound. Stepped away? It pings your WhatsApp, and you can reply to keep the session moving. Set it up once, then go live your life.
Prefer the terminal? One command installs the latest release. Free, open source (MIT), no accounts, no tracking. Works with Claude Code, Codex CLI & Cursor.

At the keyboard, you just hear a sound. Away, your phone knows. Your code never leaves the machine.
No accounts, no dashboards, no daemon config. One app that installs its own hooks and gets out of the way.
One command in the terminal, or a DMG you drag to Applications. Either way, NotCode wires itself into Claude Code's hooks, Codex's notify config and Cursor's hooks.json for you. No manual JSON editing.
When an agent needs permission, asks a question, or finishes, NotCode plays a sound. If you've been away from your Mac for a couple of minutes, it also sends you a WhatsApp message via Kapso.
Messages tell you which session wants what, never your code or task output. Answer the prompt, kick off the next run, repeat.
A real menu bar app, not an Electron tab. Tiny footprint, instant startup, at home on your Mac.
The hook helper is standalone: notifications fire even if you quit the app.
Sound when you're at the keyboard; WhatsApp only when you're actually away. Reply to a message and the session keeps working (beta).
Status updates only (“Claude needs your input”). Your code and task output never leave your machine.
Hooks for Claude Code, notify for Codex, stop hooks for Cursor. It chains with handlers you already have instead of clobbering them.
MIT licensed, small enough to read in an afternoon. No build magic between you and what it does.
NotCode is MIT licensed and built in the open. If it saves you a round trip to your desk, a star helps other people find it, and issues and PRs shape what gets built next.
Short version: your code stays home, your phone gets a heads-up. Here's why it's built on Kapso and what actually goes over the wire.
