[notifications]

[notifications]
enabled = true

Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
enabled	boolean	true	When true, send desktop notifications via notify-send for selected events.

When notifications fire

Examples (when enabled):

• No speech detected after audio gates reject a recording ([audio.gates].notify_on_no_speech)
• Clipboard-only fallback because paste was unsafe ([injection].notify_on_clipboard_only)
• Empty or failed transcription messages from the daemon

Requirements

• notify-send must be on PATH for notifications to appear.
• skald doctor lists whether notify-send is available.

Notes

• Notifications are non-blocking; they do not delay dictation completion.
• Headless SSH sessions typically have no notification daemon; failures are silent.
