Help you come back to your work when the command you are waiting for is done. With an elegant ding sound 🤌🛎 - made by Nemo.

Play a buzz sound if the command exit with non-zero code.

Works for both MacOs and Ubuntu.

This helps you:

• Proactively wait on the command while attending other stuff (watch a cat video while waiting)
• Avoid being distracted for too long (watch too much cat videos while waiting)

If you find this useful, please consider donating to support my work. Lots of love 🙏

UPDATE:

• More pleasant sound when the command is done with error
• Soundplay will not block the terminal anymore
