Notifications
- Allow notifications: when Claude needs you, a task is done or blocked, a long command finishes, or a trigger fires. On unless you turn it off.
- Push to your phone: the same notifications through ntfy. Set a Topic to turn it on.
- Triggers: patterns in terminal output that notify you or ring the bell.
All three are explained in Notifications.
Workspaces & privacy
- What a workspace keeps apart: what each workspace has of its own (its Claude login, chats and shell history) and what's the same in all of them. See Workspaces.

- Live sessions: Stop all ends every session in every workspace.
