Hi everyone,
I’d like to propose a small but very useful feature for Codex Desktop.
When running prompts that take several seconds or even minutes to complete, it’s very common for users to switch to another window and continue working elsewhere. Currently, there’s no easy way to know when Codex has finished processing without repeatedly checking the app.
Proposed feature:
Add an optional sound notification system to signal key events:
-
A sound when Codex completes a task
-
A different sound when user approval is required
Why this would help:
-
Improves productivity by reducing the need to constantly check the app
-
Enables smoother multitasking
-
Makes approval requests immediately noticeable
Optional enhancements:
-
Toggle on/off in settings
-
Customizable sounds
-
System notification integration (in addition to sound)
I believe this would be a simple but impactful improvement for daily workflows.
Thanks!
