notify: A Tiny CLI Utility for Desktop Notifications

I have a small vibe-coded CLI utility called notify. It sends a desktop notification when a command finishes running.

Examples for long running commands to get a notification

docker build .; notify
mvn install; notify
wget rookstar.com/gta6-fr.exe; notify

Why is it useful?

  1. Run long command asynchronously.
  2. Get notified when command finishes.
  3. No more switching apps to see if the command has finished executing.

It's a simple idea, but it's been super useful.
