Never miss a finished build again.
Cross-platform terminal notifications for long-running commands. Desktop alerts, sounds, Slack, Discord, Telegram, and more. Pure bash, zero dependencies.
Built for developers who run long commands and need to know when they finish.
Commands running longer than a configurable threshold trigger notifications automatically. No need to remember to prefix anything.
Slack, Discord, Telegram, Email, WhatsApp, and generic webhooks. Get notified wherever you already work.
Native hooks for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot, and Cursor. Know when your AI agent finishes its task.
macOS, Linux, WSL, and Windows via Git Bash, MSYS2, and Cygwin. One tool that works everywhere you have a terminal.
Pure bash. No Python, no Node, no Go, no Rust. Just your shell. Installs in seconds, works immediately.
Mute notifications, toggle individual layers, schedule quiet hours. Full control over when and how you get alerted.
Run shelldone setup for a menu-driven interface to configure channels, webhooks, and AI CLI hooks.
