README

Midway

Midway runs shell commands and can send periodic notifications while they run, followed by a completion notification. Running notifications are enabled by default and repeat every 15 seconds; completion notifications are sent for commands that run at least 10 seconds. Configure `command_notifications` in `midway.yaml` to change this behavior. Notifications can be sent to local desktop notifications and configured messaging services.

Quick start

Install Midway with Cargo:

cargo install midway-cli

Prebuilt releases are available for Linux x86_64, Windows x86_64, and Apple Silicon macOS (aarch64). On ARM64 Windows, ARM64 Linux, or Intel macOS (x86_64), install Rust and Cargo and use the command above to build Midway for your machine.

Create a configuration, then run a command through Midway:

midway init
midway run cargo build

To send a notification directly:

midway send-text --message "Build finished"

Documentation

See the [Midway documentation](https://midway.hazyio.com/) for [installation options](https://midway.hazyio.com/installation), [configuration](https://midway.hazyio.com/config), [commands](https://midway.hazyio.com/commands/init), and [notification setup](https://midway.hazyio.com/notifications/local).

AI agent notifications

Use your coding agent's lifecycle hooks to call `midway send-text` when an agent finishes or needs approval. Guides for Claude Code, Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity CLI, OpenCode, and Cursor are in the [docs](https://midway.hazyio.com/agents/index).

Use `--background` in hooks so the notification still sends if the agent or hook process is interrupted.

Development

Install the stable Rust toolchain with the `rustfmt` and `clippy` components. On Linux, also install `pkg-config` and the OpenSSL development headers (on Ubuntu: `sudo apt-get install pkg-config libssl-dev`). Run this from the repository root to check formatting and Clippy rules before o
