Bells and Whistles plays notification sounds and optional voice announcements when Claude Code finishes working or needs your attention. Choose from 10 themed sound packs (videogame, Disney, anime, movies, 90s rock, classical, cyberpunk, D&D, and more — each with 10 unique melodies) and add text-to-speech with accent, gender, and style options. Supports per-tab muting in tmux, themed speech phrases, and works across macOS, Linux, and WSL with graceful fallback to terminal bell over SSH.

These are the sites named in the code, so it's where your data could go. It isn't a complete list: code can build addresses while it runs, and a few of these may be links rather than calls. Whatever you send also goes to the AI model you use.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
