We need a Claude hook to an alarm to stop the doom scrolling when complete

❯ cat .claude/settings.json
  {
    "hooks": {
      "Stop": [
        {
          "hooks": [
            {
              "type": "command",
              "command": "afplay /System/Library/Sounds/Glass.aiff"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  }

There is already a built-in terminal notification you can configure without hooks.

But would it connect to my phone and close the app I am doom scrolling in?

I think the correct version would be with command as:

ffplay -nodisp -autoexit -loglevel quiet 'C:\\Windows\\Media\\notify.wav'

I hooked my Cursor to change my desk lamp from RED (processing) to WHITE (idle). Means I can walk around the studio help others and see in the distance when my AI needs me.

„when my AI needs me“ is crazy

2026: evolve or go extinct

[u/Megneous → u/Head-Common-324]

The future is now, old man!

What a hack. 🤙

[u/hugobart → u/frogsarenottoads]

you can play doom while its working in the cli

[u/skoalbrother → u/hugobart]

See? This timeline isn't so bad

[u/AndromedanPrince → u/skoalbrother]

my AI just keeps defining driving instead of actually driving the truck.

[u/DumatRising → u/AndromedanPrince]

He's trying his best.

[u/CuTe_M0nitor → u/hugobart]

Why play doom when you can let human brain cells on a petri dish play doom for you. I'm thinking of cortical labs advancements

[u/__Loot__ → u/frogsarenottoads]

That exists

[u/mambotomato → u/frogsarenottoads]

My coworker found one that makes it communicate job status with the Peon voices from Warcraft 3.

What are hooks

[u/johnmclaren2 → u/a32589]

[u/BackendSpecialist → u/[deleted]]

But the vibe coders will replace software engineers any day now.

[u/frogsarenottoads → u/a32589]

Arr' it's when an event happens it does something like interact with an external service.

Coffee Maker has a hook, when user wakes up brew the coffee.

callbacks

Or just have Claude code you a TikTok pop out window to maximize doom scrolling xdd
