Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

...even with macOS notifications fully enabled. The setting shown in Claude Code web (claude.ai) under General → Notifications → "Response completions" doesn't appear in the desktop app. This makes it impossible to step away during long-running tasks without constantly checking back manually.

Proposed Solution

The desktop app should respect macOS notification permissions and send a system notification when a task completes, matching the behavior already available on the web version.

Alternative Solutions

No response

Priority

High - Significant impact on productivity

Feature Category

Configuration and settings

Use Case Example

I start a long-running task, switch to another app, and lose track of it. By the time I remember and check back, Claude finished 10 minutes ago. A system notification would have let me return immediately when the task was done instead of losing that time.

Additional Context

No response

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implementing system notifications for task completion in the desktop app, similar to the web version, is likely to resolve the issue.

Guidance

  • Verify that the desktop app is properly configured to respect macOS notification permissions.
  • Check if there are any existing settings or flags in the desktop app that could be enabling or disabling system notifications.
  • Consider adding a feature to the desktop app that sends a system notification when a task completes, matching the behavior of the web version.
  • Test the proposed solution with different types of tasks and notification settings to ensure it works as expected.

Notes

The solution may require changes to the desktop app's code and configuration, and may involve integrating with macOS's notification system.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement system notifications for task completion in the desktop app, as this would directly address the reported issue and improve productivity.
