Knowtify adds pop-up prompts for Claude Code on macOS

Knowtify is a plugin for people who run Claude Code in the terminal and miss its waiting prompts. When Claude Code pauses to ask for permission to run something or asks the user to choose an option, Knowtify shows a native macOS dialog on top of whatever the user is doing. The user can approve, deny, choose an option, or jump back to the terminal from that dialog.

When the coding task finishes, it shows a quiet banner instead of a full prompt. If the user returns to the terminal on their own, the dialog closes automatically. It does not use sudo, s, or a , and it only runs when Claude Code calls it.

It has only been tested on macOS. Installation happens inside Claude Code by adding `Arjun20398/knowtify` to the and installing `knowtify@knowtify`.
