Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As i run the server on a small home server it is CPU bound. I can live perfectly fine with the speed, or lack thereof, but it would be cool if the WebUI could tell me that a prompt is finished trough a bell or other sound so that i can let it run in the background and come back to it later.

Describe the solution you'd like
A sound being played when a prompt has been finished.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None, playing a sound should be a relative simple quality of life feature.

Additional context
Just have some "ping.wav" as the default and when the user doesn't like it they can upload or simply replace the default with their favorite.
Definitely not a priority but a nice to have. :)

Ollama WebUI already supports OS notifications upon generation completion. I believe it's up to your OS whether these will play a sound.

Then somehow Firefox missed the cue to enable them. I will have a look, thanks.

Afraid I'm not familiar with Firefox anymore, but in Chrome it prompts for permission the first time it attempts to send a notification, or it can be enabled in the "site settings" for the domain you've got your UI hosted on.

I will close this issue for now as I'm unable to reproduce the issue with all three of my machines (ubuntu, macos, windows). You might want to check if firefox notification is being blocked on a OS level, Keep us updated!

How do I enable this notification?

Adding a way to play a custom sound is much better though. The OS notification sounds are usually intrusive.

Update: I found the setting:
