Something like these could be a good compromise between solution, difficulty, and price, and will provide a lot of room for experimentation with regards to placement and angles: https://amazon.com/s/...

Buy a lamp style flashlight (something you can stick to the door or wall).
Ask your girlfriend to light it up on entering.
Plus: use colored plastic paper as a filter.
Easy solution, 2 minutes install.
Easyer but cheesier, ask her to turn the lights on and off on day time. Doesn't work well at night or without natural light cause it will still make you shit yourself.
Other solution: if she has a smart watch or band use a old phone, connect it by Bluetooth and write a simple app to play a sound when it connects... Doesn't work as well since it will play the sound when she walks close.
Found this in our codebase, apparently one of my co-workers had written this

#1 problem during summer months
I recently moved to a house where my gf and me each have our separate office space. However, i’m sitting with my back to the door so whenever i’m in the zone with noise cancelling on and my gf walks in i don’t hear her. Resulting in me having a couple of almost heart attacks lately.
I have ideas about mirrors or sensors but since i’m working of three screens i din’t think it will do. The second option is ofcourse to move the desk to the other side of the room so that i’m facing the door more. But there are no power plugs.
My gf basically locks her door by sitting in front of it. Also she doesnt have a noise cancelling head set.
