Hey, good question. This is partly available already, and there’s a solid workaround for the rest.

What’s already built in:

  • Sound notifications: Settings > Sound Notifications
  • Desktop notifications v1.5.x+: shows when the agent finishes or needs confirmation
  • Orange dot indicator on chat tabs

For phone and watch notifications:

Cursor supports Hooks: Hooks | Cursor Docs
These are custom scripts that run on agent events. There’s a stop event that fires when the agent finishes. You can use it to send any notification you want.

A community member already built this. It sends push notifications via ntfy to your phone or watch when the agent stops:

Install:

npx cursor-hook install beautyfree/cursor-ntfy-on-stop-hook

For email, you can write a similar hook using the stop event that calls an email API like SendGrid or Mailgun. The hooks docs include examples to get you started.
