  • AnyBar

    OS X menubar status indicator

    I play different wav files when Elm compile fails or succeeds, so I don’t need to look at the terminal. This in addition to Anybar (1) red/green icons.

  • bloohm

    visual bloom filter to display process status as neotrellis m4 output

  • zsh-background-notify

    cross-platform background notifications for long running commands!

    Instead of sounds to indicate the end of a long-running task, use a notification:

  • react-audible-debug

    Audio debugging for React applications

    This one does the same thing but with beeps, with higher pitch for heavier DOM updates. It’s not as nice as the geiger click but I’ve found it more useful for figuring out exactly where the UI is slow.

  • pom-cli

    A simple program to lock your screen and leave a desktop notification after some amount of time

    I made a small CLI pomodoro tool that both locks the screen and emits a chime sound when the time limit has been reached.

    sysm makes your system play custom sounds when any configured system or external event happens

    I have made sysm specifically for this: https://github.com/jafarlihi/sysm

  • shound

    Shell Sound

    https://github.com/daved/shound

    Configurable. I've been using this or similar for many years and find the terminal to feel empty without it.

  • terminal-notifier

    Send User Notifications on macOS from the command-line.

    I use this, which I use for exactly those kinds of scripts, but I don't really like noises: https://github.com/julienXX/terminal-notifier

  • dingdong_sonos

    Revive the charm of old school days in your office with dingdong-sonos! Turn your Sonos into a school bell and promote regular breaks. Add a touch of nostalgia and joy to your routine 🔔!

    In the previous startup I worked at, we set up a PR action that played a celebration thingy after every PR merge. We used https://github.com/leokster/dingdong_sonos to play on the Sonos speakers. Fun little gimmick but not really as a usecase like colors for linting etc.
