Motivation(why this exists):

I have seen gnome/kde/cinnamon desktop to show notification and play a sound tone on USB device attach or detach event, but that is not present if you are using a Window Manager, so it is made for Window Manager/Compositor users who wants a notification with sound cue for USB connections.

Requirements :

• dunst
• mpv (optional if you want sound cue)

Installation :

cargo install notify-usb

Run it on startup(eg: hyprland) :

exec-once = ~/.cargo/bin/notify-usb

Customization :

• use --no-sound flag if you don't want to sound

You can customize the sound(tone) that this programs plays, by replacing these files

• ~/.local/share/notify-usb/connect.mp3
• ~/.local/share/notify-usb/disconnect.mp3
