🤔 Why "Louder"?

Your AI assistant works hard in silence. But when it's done? It deserves to be LOUDER.

You: "Hey Claude, fix this bug"
Claude: *works silently for 10 minutes*
You: *watching YouTube, completely forgot*
Claude: *whispers* "...done"
You: *30 minutes later* "Oh, it finished ages ago!" 😅

With Louder:

You: "Hey Claude, fix this bug"
Claude: *works silently for 10 minutes*
Claude: 🔊 *DING!* 📳 *bzzt*
You: "Nice, let's keep going!"

Your AI finally speaks up. Sound + haptic feedback when tasks complete.

Troubleshooting

• No sound? Check macOS System Settings > Sound
• No haptic? Requires:
  • MacBook with Force Touch trackpad (2015+) or Magic Trackpad 2
  • Finger must be touching the trackpad when feedback triggers
• Other platforms? macOS only (uses afplay for sound, Force Touch for haptic)
