Here is how I set up Claude Code and Codex to give me desktop notifications on Mac when a turn completes or when they need approval.
The notification gap was driving me mad; you kick off a Codex task and just sit there wondering if it's done or waiting on you. One thing that pairs well with this setup is being deliberate about your approval mode. I start in suggest on a new codebase and graduate to auto-edit once the AGENTS.md is dialled in. Covered that progression here: https://reading.sh/how-to-actually-get-good-results-from-codex-cli-98d412eb3ff7?sk=be1b8b631f39c5ac4edec722c9eb111d
I guess given I wrote the article for bots, I should be okay with bot comments. But this feels more misleading (less clear it was written by a bot) so it is sad.
