Description

I think it would be great to customize the incoming messages tone, because on Macs it sounds like an app just installed. Giving more customization options could be a huge opportunity for caprine.

Research direction
Investigate how Caprine currently handles notifications, likely in the main process (index.ts or similar). Look for usage of Notification API from Electron or HTML5 Notification. Then propose a way to customize the sound, perhaps by allowing users to select a sound file or use system sounds. Check linked PRs or comments for prior attempts.
