Native macOS notifications for AI coding tools.
DevPing lets you know when Claude Code, OpenCode, and Aider finish, need approval, or need your attention — then gets you back to the right editor or terminal without babysitting the session.
Focus-aware
Chimes softly if you’re already in the editor. Shows a popup when you’re away.
One-click return
Jump back to the right editor or terminal window instead of hunting for it.

Why DevPing
Stop babysitting coding sessions.
DevPing adds a lightweight native notification layer around the tools you already use. It’s built for long-running prompts, approval interruptions, and context switching during real coding work.
Permission alerts
Hear and see when your tool needs approval instead of letting it sit idle.
Settings that stay out of the way
Configure sound, timing, position, appearance, and launch-at-login from a native settings window.
Built for direct launch
No mandatory account. No bloated workflow. Install it, connect your tools, and keep moving.
How it works
A thin layer over the tools you already use.
DevPing does not try to replace your editor, terminal, or coding assistant. It only adds the notification and return-to-context layer that those workflows usually miss.
1. Connect your tool
Install the local hook for Claude Code, OpenCode, or Aider from the app onboarding flow.
2. Let DevPing listen
When a run finishes or needs approval, DevPing plays a sound or shows a popup based on your settings.
3. Jump back fast
Use the notification action to return to the matching editor or terminal session without hunting for the right window.
Trust
Useful immediately. Transparent by design.

A few things people will ask before installing.
Does DevPing require an account?
No. The core direct-download build works locally on your Mac and does not require a login to get started.
What does it modify?
DevPing installs a managed local hook and updates supported tool configs so those tools can call DevPing when they finish or need approval.
Is the download safe to install?
Yes. The current direct-download build is signed with Developer ID and notarized so Gatekeeper accepts it.
