Sound notifications for any AI agent – hooks for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex & more, plus an MCP server so the agent can choose its own sounds. Peon Ping plays game character sounds when your coding agent finishes, errors out, or needs approval. 100+ sound packs (Warcraft, StarCraft, GLaDOS, TF2 and many more), desktop notifications and an animated desktop ork tamagochi. Never lose flow to a silent terminal again.
READY TO WORK GUYS?
Found this amazing project a couple of days ago and just want to share it with you.
DUNNO about you, but when working with 5 or 10 parallel agents you can easily miss a message from one of them.
Then you search for a solution, set up a Claude Code hook, and finally get some ring bell in your console.
But why reinvent the wheel when you can just install PeonPing and get 100+ presets with one click for free? Plus custom sounds for different types of events right out of the box (greeting, acknowledge, error, limits hit, input required, etc.).
I don't think I need to advertise this great open-source product – just try it yourself!
Running several Claude Code sessions at once and constantly alt-tabbing to check which one finished is my least favorite part of the workflow. The different sounds for completion vs. error vs. needs-approval is the real killer feature here — you can triage by ear without breaking focus. Smart solve.
This is one of those tools that sounds like a fun gimmick until you actually use it and realize it solves a real workflow problem. I run Claude Code sessions constantly, and the silent terminal problem is real. I'll kick off a task, switch to another window to do something else, and then 15 minutes later realize the agent has been waiting for approval the whole time. That context switch tax adds up fast when you're running multiple sessions.
The hook-based approach is smart. Having different sounds for completion vs. error vs. needs-approval means you can stay in flow on something else and still triage what's happening by ear. Useful UX pattern. Great job!
Co-creator and maintainer here! It's been so fun to see the dev + agentic engineering world find so much joy with this tool my brother and I built for our own utility. Give it a shot and feel free to file an issue or PR if you have any thing you want to improve. work work!
I installed this as soon as I found it. I personally use the Zelda pack. Great little tool that makes working a bit more fun (and efficient!)
