The obvious alternative, async-shell-command, produces a new buffer to capture the output in a split window, which I don’t want to happen. alerter keeps running while the notification is visible to receive the reply event so Sarah’s synchronous call to the shell-command function wasn’t viable as it blocks Emacs. Sarah uses terminal-notifier, which runs the notification and exits immediately. I did modify a solution by Sarah Bagby that is itself a modification of other people’s code. My Emacs Lisp is just too bad for coming up with a working solution for most things. I don’t use the mode, but the package comes with background checks that one can hook into to produce notifications at the right time. That’s what I’m using, albeit with the default “Close” and “View” actions.Įmacs comes with a package called appt for Appointment Mode. A fork of terminal-notifier by Valere Jeantet called alerter implements sticky notifications, with the ability to even send Message-like replies back to the process if configured thus. Good start, but I need sticky Reminders-like notifications for most appointments. You get a notification that faded away after a while. I know and use terminal-notifier by Julien Blanchard to produce Banner-style notifications for long-running tasks from the shell.That means as long as I have access to a command-line program to produce notifications, I can make this work. Approach to a SolutionĮmacs can run shell processes just fine. At the moment, I get a notification of everything with a time and date attached to it and cannot selectively enable or disable reminders-like notifications. I figured out a crude way to produce macOS native notifications based on deadlines and appointment times in my Org task items. get up and leave the house for an appointment. So Emacs Org mode cannot be my sole trusted system whenever I need a push notification to e.g. And as long as I don’t run macOS from within Emacs, which I by this point bet you can do, Emacs-internal popups will go by unnoticed when I browse the web, message people, do email, or program in Xcode. org files and presents a graphical UI, though. And it seems to understand all of my task deadlines and appointments so far. On iOS, thanks to the amazing beorg app, I get notifications for the parts beorg understands. Because they produce notifications on my Mac. Add sub-headings, spacing, links, text, what have you.īut I still use the macOS native Calendar and Reminders. It’s a calendar view of all things scheduled for the day, plus some other info interspersed: thanks to the plain text nature of the whole interface, it’s simple (albeit not easy) to re-style everything you see there. But I use its Org mode for “keeping notes, maintaining TODO lists, planning projects, and authoring documents with a fast and effective plain-text system” – its Agenda became my daily productivity hub. Native macOS Notifications for Emacs Org Tasks and AppointmentsĮmacs is a text editor, kind of.
