Notihub
2h agoNotihub is a free, open‑source macOS menu‑bar hub that turns web‑based messaging and productivity services into native‑style desktop apps. It provides real macOS notifications, smart RAM auto‑sleep for idle tabs, quiet‑hours scheduling, dynamic window modes (standard window or menu‑bar panel), support for eight popular services plus any custom web URL, status monitoring with auto‑recovery, global hotkeys, a companion CLI, and a minimal mode that shows only the notification board. The app runs without accounts, telemetry, or background battery drain.

Key Capabilities
01
Native macOS Notifications
Messages are delivered through macOS Notification Center, respecting Focus and Do Not Disturb, with searchable in‑app history and service icons.
02
Smart RAM Auto‑Sleep
Background tabs unload their memory after 5‑60 minutes of idle time, freeing RAM while allowing instant reconnection.
03
Dynamic Window Modes
Switch between a resizable standard window and a frameless menu‑bar panel directly from settings.
04
Quiet Hours Scheduling
Silence all notifications or allow priority messages during user‑defined quiet‑hour windows.
05
Multi‑Service Support
Out‑of‑the‑box integration with Messenger, Zalo, Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, and any custom web URL.
06
Status & Auto‑Recovery
Shows connection status, reloads hung tabs automatically with exponential backoff.
07
Global Hotkeys & CLI
Assign a global hotkey (default ⌘⇧Space) to toggle Notihub and use a CLI for scripting and automation.
08
One‑Screen Setup
Single prompt for notification permission, launch‑at‑login toggle, and app selection; no account or telemetry required.
09
Minimal Mode
Reduces the interface to a notification board and settings toggle, keeping services running in the background.
