You’ve probably experienced this while coding with Vibe. You leave the work to the agent to do something else for a moment—looking at your phone or lying down—and end up constantly checking the screen because you don’t know when it’s finished. Vibe Push is an app that helps you naturally return to your work by notifying you via a push notification when "coding is complete." ■ Use it in these situations When you need a quick break while leaving a long creation, build, or refactoring process to the agent When you want to return immediately after receiving the "finished" signal while doing other tasks When you want to keep your PC clear but don't want to miss the completion timing ■ How to connect ① VSCode / Cursor Extension Search for "VibePush" in the Extensions Marketplace and install it. After installation, the UUID and QR code will be displayed automatically. Scan the QR code in the app or enter the UUID to complete the connection! ② Claude Code (npm) Install it using the command below in the terminal. npm install -g vibe-push After installation, run vibe-push to display the UUID and QR code. If you set up the Claude Code hook, you will receive an automatic push notification whenever an agent task is completed. Add the following to ~/.claude/settings.json: { "hooks": { "Stop": [{ "matcher": "", "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "vibe-push hook" }] }] } } ■ How to Use Connect your device by entering the UUID received from the VSCode/Cursor extension or npm, or by scanning the QR code. If you allow notifications, you will be notified via push when a code task is completed. Past notifications remain in the history, allowing you to check change summaries, details, and statistics later. ■ More Convenient Features Adapt to your environment with Light or Dark themes. Connect quickly via QR code. Once paired, notifications for both the extension and the CLI are sent to the same device. ■ Note Notification and Camera (or Scan) permissions may be required for push notifications and QR scanning. The UUID is automatically issued when installing the VSCode/Cursor extension or running the vibe-push CLI. Node 18 or higher is required. (When using npm) Get distracted, but don't miss out on completing it.
