+
+Layer Notify lets you set one or more target layers and receive an alert — visual (browser toast + OS notification) and audible (configurable sound) — the moment that layer starts printing.
+
+Each entry can also trigger a GCODE command automatically, making it easy to pause for a filament change (`M600`), show a message on the printer display (`M117 Check print`), or run any other command at a specific point in the print.
+
+**Features:**
+
+- Multiple target layers, each with its own optional GCODE command
+- 4 built-in sound types (single beep, triple beep, alternating alarm, rising tone)
+- Adjustable volume and repeat count (1–10 times)
+- Real-time status tab: see which layers have fired and which are still waiting
+- Works with Cura, PrusaSlicer, SuperSlicer — and any slicer via Z-movement detection
+- Each layer fires only once per print job
