About Buildkite Build Watcher

Stop watching a build log waiting for it to go green. Buildkite Build Watcher plays a distinct sound the moment a build you care about finishes, so you can go and do something else until it does. THREE SOUNDS, THREE OUTCOMES • Passed — a rising four-note chime • Failed or cancelled — two descending tones • Needs input — a double ping, for when a block step is waiting on you A fourth, quieter sound acknowledges a build being picked up automatically. WATCHES BUILDS YOU TRIGGER, ON ITS OWN Turn on auto-watch and any build you start is picked up within a minute, read from the same builds page you already use. Builds already running when you enable it are ignored, so switching it on is never a burst of noise. You can also watch anyone else's build by hand from its page. TELLS YOU WHICH BUILD IT WAS A desktop notification names the pipeline and build number, and clicking it opens the build. The popup keeps the last finished builds listed and colour-coded, so a chime you missed is still accounted for. NO TOKEN, NO LOGIN, NO ACCOUNT It reads build status using the Buildkite session your browser already has. There is nothing to configure and no credential to paste. It never sees your password. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR BROWSER No servers, no analytics, no telemetry, no remote code. The builds you are watching and your settings are stored locally on your own machine and are never transmitted anywhere. The full source is on GitHub. WORKS WITH buildkite.com. Self-hosted Buildkite instances are not supported yet. An independent open-source project. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Buildkite.
