MacOS notifications over SSH?

[ghostcow]

Hi, when I use Claude Code locally, I get notifications with a sound effect whenever it finishes work or needs approval. I love that feature, but it doesn't work over SSH.

Can we get on making this work over SSH?

Here's an example notification:

It's not exactly like a bell (echo -en "\007") because it involves the OS notifications, so I don't know how to approach this.

I looked at how existing notifications are sent and call I could find was
#876

which from what I can tell should work just fine over ssh

This popup seems to be some macos intervention which is not from ghostty so im not sure how it could really be supported over ssh. I don't use mac so I cannot comment further

I don't see any PRs which would have audio alerts in ghostty either

As Bruce mentioned above, the existing escape code for notifications work perfectly fine over SSH. If it doesn't work in Claude Code, that's either:

1. because you don't have terminfo → https://ghostty.org/docs/help/terminfo#ssh.
2. a bug in Claude Code.

You can confirm it yourself by running:

printf '\033]9;works!\033\\'

(I am aware my screenshot is not of macOS, but there should be no difference across OSs since this is handled by the cross-platform Zig core.)
