Notifications

A dedicated notifications panel with unread count and quick actions.

Notifications

Sulguni Taskbar can surface macOS notifications in a dedicated panel so you can triage them without opening Notification Center.

Use it when you want to:

  • see what’s new (without switching context)
  • open the right notification quickly
  • clear noise (single notifications, stacks, or everything)

What you can do

  • See an unread badge on the bell icon (optional badges setting).
  • Open a notification (Sulguni asks macOS to open it; if that fails, it brings the app to the front).
  • Dismiss one notification.
  • Clear a whole stack (notifications grouped by app).
  • Clear all.

Badges setting: Badges

Open Notifications

  • Click the bell icon on the taskbar.
  • Optional: assign a global hotkey for Notifications.

Hotkeys: Hotkeys

Stacks (grouped by app)

Notifications are grouped by app so the panel stays readable.

In a stack you can:

  • expand/collapse to focus on one app
  • clear the whole stack in one click
  • mark a stack as read when you expand it

Permissions (why there are two)

Notifications need access to system data and the ability to interact with Notification Center UI.

  • Full Disk Access enables reading the system notification database (so the stream can be populated reliably).
  • Accessibility enables interaction (open/dismiss/clear) via Notification Center UI and improves syncing.

If you want the panel to work end-to-end (list + actions), enable both.

If the panel is empty

Quick checklist:

  1. Confirm macOS actually has notifications right now (open Notification Center once to verify).
  2. Grant Full Disk Access + Accessibility, then quit and relaunch Sulguni Taskbar.
  3. If you only granted one permission, expect partial behavior (for example: list without actions, or actions without a reliable stream).
