Audio Notifier earns its place in the blender_extensions library for a focused job: turning render and baking completion into an audible cue. Version 1.0.5 lowered the minimum requirement to Blender 4.2 LTS and reworked notification registering to help with reported bugs such as #3.
Audio Notifier, developed by Lauloque, gives Blender audio notifications for success, cancel and warning events. Out of the box it notifies you of the success or cancellation of renders and baking processes. The add-on ships with default sound files under a CC0 license, with credits to IENBA.
Version 1.0.5 reduced the minimum supported Blender version to 4.2 LTS, improved notification registering to help with bugs such as #3, and added a developer mode to assist with bug reports. The add-on is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
To install, drag and drop the file into Blender, or download it and install from disk. The extension does not require any special permissions.
Audio Notifier is best for blender users who want an audible cue when renders or baking processes finish or are cancelled.
Audio Notifier is completely free to download and use.
Audio Notifier is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. Version 1.0.5 specifically reduced the minimum supported Blender version down to 4.2 LTS, so that release and later versions are covered. If you are running an older Blender build, it falls outside the stated compatibility range. The add-on is distributed as a Blender extension, which you can add by dragging and dropping the file into Blender or by downloading it and installing from disk through Blender's preferences.
Audio Notifier plays audio notifications for success, cancel and warning events in Blender. Out of the box, it notifies you of the success or cancellation of renders and baking processes. It ships with default sound files provided under a CC0 license, with credits to IENBA. Version 1.0.5 also improved how notifications are registered, which the developer noted should help with bugs such as #3. For the full current scope, check the developer's GitHub page.
Audio Notifier installs like other Blender extensions. You can drag and drop the file directly into Blender, or download it and install from disk. The extension does not require any special permissions. Some users reported having to disable and re-enable the add-on after launching Blender; the developer indicated version 1.0.5 addresses this, noting the issue mainly persisted with files created in older Blender versions, and recommended starting a clean file in the latest Blender and appending older content into it.
Audio Notifier is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and it is listed as free here. Its bundled default sound files are provided separately under a CC0 license, with credits to IENBA. The extension does not require any special permissions when installed in Blender. For the exact licensing terms and any updates, refer to the developer's GitHub page, which also hosts the source and the issue tracker.
