Add configurable audible alert for pending permission approvals in Codex CLI
Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Feb 12, 2026 by you-apps-code Closed Feb 12, 2026
What variant of Codex are you using?
CLI
What feature would you like to see?
I’d like to request an improvement for Codex CLI: play a configurable audible alert whenever the agent requests a permission approval (similar to Copilot CLI).
Why this helps
During long-running tasks, I’m not always watching the terminal. Approval prompts can be missed, which adds unnecessary delay.
Proposed behavior
- Add a config option: approval_sound (on/off)
- Optionally allow:
- choosing sound type/volume
- using system notification sound
- repeating alert every X seconds while approval is pending
Expected outcome
Faster response to approval prompts and smoother human-in-the-loop workflows.
