dding-dong

When code is done, the doorbell rings.

A Claude Code plugin that alerts you with sounds and OS notifications on task completion, errors, and input requests.

How does it notify you?

Cross-Platform

Works on macOS, Linux, and WSL. Automatically detects your environment and audio tools.

Sound Packs

Choose from built-in packs — default, retro 8-bit, or musical piano chords. Create your own too.

TTS Voice

Generate custom voice notifications with Qwen3-TTS. Clone your own voice for a personal touch.

Quiet Hours

Set quiet hours to silence notifications during focus time or late-night sessions.

Flexible Config

5-stage config merge: defaults → global → project → local → env vars. Override anything, anywhere.

Korean & English

Full bilingual support. Notification messages, setup wizard, and all skills in both languages.

Make it speak in your voice

Voice Cloning

As few as 3 seconds of audio is all it takes to clone your voice. Every notification sounds like you.

5 Event Voices

Unique voice lines for each event — task complete, error, input required, session start, and end.

One Command Setup
