How to get a notification when a big download finishes
Create a KeyRoutines routine with a Download finished trigger, Speak text with "Download finished", and Show notification with the file's name and buttons to open the file or show it in its folder.
Steps
- 1
Watch downloads
Add Download finished; leave the pattern empty for every file or use *.iso; *.zip for big ones.
- 2
Say it
Add Speak text with "Download finished" and the file's name.
- 3
Show it
Add Show notification with the file's name and two buttons: one opens the file, one shows it in its folder.
Tips
- The trigger waits until the browser's temporary file is gone and the size has stopped changing, so it never fires halfway.
- Notification buttons keep working for up to 24 hours.
Questions
- Does it work with Steam game downloads?
- No. It watches files your browser saves; game launchers download into their own folders.
- Is it free?
- Yes. Download finished, Speak text and Show notification are free.
