DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.176

Notification Settings UI

A new Notifications settings panel has been added, accessible from the REPL. It lets you configure:

  • Channel: cycles through available notification backends (auto, iterm2, terminal_bell, iterm2_with_bell, kitty, ghostty, notifications_disabled)
  • "Notify when Claude needs you" — get a notification when a background session is blocked waiting for input
  • "Notify when Claude is done" — get a notification when a session finishes

The iterm2+bell combined mode (iTerm2 notification + terminal bell) is also available as a new channel option.

Evidence

Notifications UI (search for "Notify when Claude needs you" and "iterm2+bell")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
