Ping Me

Play a sound and show a notification when an AI response is ready, so you can step away while the AI works.

Features

• Sound alert: Plays a sound when the AI finishes responding.
• Notification: Shows an information message "AI response finished" when VS Code regains focus.
• Smart detection: Monitors document changes, file operations, and terminal activity to detect when the AI stops working.
• URI handler: Supports triggering notifications via vscode://yhondri.ping-me/notify.
• Manual command: Run Ping Me: Notify from the Command Palette to trigger a notification manually.

How It Works

The extension supports two modes:

• Automatic: Watches for activity (document edits, file operations, terminal executions). After 3 seconds of inactivity while VS Code is not focused, it plays a sound and queues a notification.
• Hook: An external tool (e.g. Claude Code) triggers the notification explicitly via the URI vscode://yhondri.ping-me/notify.

In both modes, the notification message is shown as soon as you switch back to VS Code.

Settings

pingMe.automaticDetection (default: true) Enable automatic detection via inactivity timer. Set to false to disable timer-based notifications entirely.

pingMe.enableUriHandler (default: true) Enable the URI handler so external tools (e.g. Claude Code hooks) can trigger notifications via vscode://yhondri.ping-me/notify. Set to false to disable it.

Using the URI handler with Claude Code

With pingMe.enableUriHandler enabled, you can configure a Claude Code hook to notify you when a task finishes:

{
  "hooks": {
    "Stop": [
      {
        "matcher": "",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "open 'vscode://yhondri.ping-me/notify'"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
