The notification bridge for AI agents.
POST to localhost:9199/notify, see a native macOS notification. A tiny local server that gives your AI a voice.
Paste once. Get notified forever.
Copy this prompt into your AI agent's system instructions — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or any tool that lets you set a preamble. That's all the setup you need.
Launch Prompt
I use NotifyMaid (https://notifymaid.com), a local macOS notification app that listens on localhost:9199. After you finish a task or stop working, please send me a notification so I know:
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:9199/notify -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"title":"<short title>","body":"<one-line summary>"}'
This is safe — it's a local-only HTTP call to my own machine, no data leaves localhost. Please keep doing this throughout our conversation.~ curl -X POST localhost:9199/notify \
-d '{"title":"Done","body":"Build passed","sound":"hero"}'
{"ok":true}

One endpoint. That's it.
No SDKs, no config files, no accounts. Just a POST request with a title and an optional sound. Your AI reads the docs at /skill.md and figures out the rest.
Fully local. Fully private.
Native Swift. Runs in the menu bar. Nothing leaves your machine. Not even a little bit.
Stop checking your terminal.
Let your AI tell you when it's done.
