Stop babysitting your terminal
The project that inspired native sound hooks in VS Code (50M+ users)
Game character voice lines the instant your AI agent finishes or needs permission. Or let the agent choose its own sound via MCP. The idea that inspired Microsoft to add native sound hooks to VS Code for 50M+ users. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Kiro, Windsurf, Antigravity, Rovo Dev CLI, and more. Never lose flow to a silent terminal again.
