What is the difference between Notifier and AppleScript methods?

AppleScript provides simple, temporary banners. The Notifier app (preferred) allows for persistent 'alert' types that stay on screen until you dismiss them, which is better for important task completions.

Can I receive notifications on my phone?

Yes, by using the Pushover integration (push command), Claude can send notifications that appear on all your registered mobile devices.

Does this skill send notifications automatically?

No, this skill is designed to be non-intrusive. It only triggers notifications when you explicitly request one or ask Claude to notify you upon completion of a task.

Is any special software required?

Basic notifications use built-in AppleScript, but advanced features require Jamf Notifier installed in /Applications/Utilities/ or the Pushover CLI tool in your bin directory.
