Play Sound When Task Completes (Render, Bake, Track, etc.)
Implement an optional notification sound in Blender that plays when the following tasks finish:
- Final Render (Image or Animation)
- Baking (e.g., physics, textures, lightmaps)
- Motion Tracking Solve
- Compositing operations (optional)
- Export/Import operations (optional)
Use Case:
- Alerts the user that Blender has finished a long task, especially useful when Blender is minimized or running in the background.
- Reduces the need for users to check Blender frequently while multitasking.
Thank you!

There is extension for that you can get from preferences
extensions.blender.org/add-ons/audio-notifier/
Thanks for the exposition :)
I made a ticket on my repo to track notification recommendations and added the ones from this post. You can follow up there:
[Design Document] Wishlist of notifications · Issue #8 · L0Lock/AudioNotifier
we should be able to customize the sound as well
Which "compositing operations" do you think of exactly?
It would be great if we could access Windows and Mac notifications, and even have the capability to send notifications to mobile devices when rendering tasks are completed on the computer.
