description: Know when an agent is done or needs you, without watching it.
---

Ghostex tells you when an agent finishes or needs your answer:

- A **sound** plays when an agent finishes.
- The session's dot in the sidebar turns **blue** when it's done and **pink** when it's waiting for you.
- Your computer shows a **system notification**, and the menu bar shows how many agents are working and done (macOS).
- Your **phone** gets a push notification if you've [paired it](/anywhere/phone).

## The bell

The bell in the sidebar's top row lists what each agent last did, newest first. Click a row to jump to that session.

| To                                    | Press       |
| ------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| Open the bell                         | Cmd+I       |
| Jump to the latest unread             | Cmd+Shift+U |
| Push this one back and go to the next | Cmd+Ctrl+U  |

Scripts can post to the bell too, with `ghostex notify --title "Build finished"`.

### Other computers

The bell covers your [other computers](/anywhere/other-computers) too. With one connected, the panel has **All**, **This computer** and **Remote** tabs, and a remote row names its computer. **Mark all read** and **Clear all** act on the open tab.

A red row warns you when a banked Claude or Codex usage reset is about to expire. Click it to see that account's usage.

## Change the sound

Pick a different completion sound, or turn it off, in the **Notifications** section of Settings (Cmd+,). The same section has **Attention Notifications** (system notifications), a sound for finished Actions, and, with Show Advanced, **Copy Sound**.
