When Claude finishes
you hear it.
An animal sounds the moment an agent finishes, then a calm British voice reads a one‑line summary. One tab per project — exactly what you see here on the right.
Free · Windows 10/11 · 100% local — the summary and voice run on your machine, no cloud, no account.
"I'll let you know."
An agent finishes, the duck makes that project's sound, and a British voice tells you what happened. You glance over — you don't babysit.
Go do whatever you want.
The duck will let you know.
Kick off your agents and actually step away — Ducking pings you the second one finishes. While you wait, you could:
One critter per project. A real voice. Zero cloud.
Every project gets its own animal tab. When its agent finishes, the tab lights up and you hear — in plain English — what it just did.
A sound per project
Voxitect quacks, Asvalin moos, monk hoots. The instant an agent finishes you know who — by ear, without looking.
A British voice reads it
A tiny local model writes a short summary of what the agent did, and a British voice reads it right after the animal.
Tabs that cool down
Bright yellow when fresh → dim orange after ~10 minutes → dark once you've read it (you reply, or close the chat).
Replay · Full · Hide
Replay an announcement, hit Full to hear the whole answer (pre‑built so it's instant), or Hide a project until it next pings you.
Terminal or IDE
Works with Claude Code anywhere — the claude terminal CLI or the VS Code / Cursor extension. It rides Claude Code's hooks, not your editor.
Local & featherweight
A native tray app — no Electron, no cloud, no account. The model picks each new project's animal for you; change any in Settings.
You can see what you've missed.
Each tab's colour tells you how fresh it is — and whether you've dealt with it — at a glance.
Three steps. One duck.
An agent finishes
A Claude Code session wraps up a task — in a terminal or your editor, doesn't matter.
The duck reacts
It plays that project's animal, a British voice reads the summary, and the tab lights up yellow.
You stay in control
Replay it, hear the full answer, or hide it. Replying (or closing the chat) marks it read.
Ducking is free and runs entirely on your own machine — no accounts, no subscriptions, no catch.
But if it's saved you from babysitting a terminal, I'd be chuffed if you took a look at my main project:

Free and local — it lives in your tray and starts itself at login. Loyal. Slightly judgmental. Definitely a duck.
