Are You Done?
Are You Done? helps you stay focused by notifying you when long-running terminals and tasks finish in VS Code.
It is designed for moments when you start a build, test run, or script in the background and switch context while it runs.
Features
- Detects long-running task completion and reports success or failure.
- Detects background terminal completion and sends a completion notification.
- Supports native OS notifications where available, with a VS Code fallback.
- Supports optional sound alerts, including custom files.
- Includes quick commands to test notifications and pick a notification sound.
Commands
- Are You Done?: Test Notification
- Are You Done?: Pick Notification Sound
Open the Command Palette and run either command to verify your setup quickly.

Known Limitations
- Notification timing behavior can vary by OS notification center policy.

Privacy
