Notifications

Configure macOS delivery, pane attention, unread badges, and terminal notifications.

Supaterm can surface terminal and coding-agent activity in the sidebar, inside the pane, and through macOS.

System notifications

Enable Settings > Notifications > System notifications to deliver terminal and agent notifications through macOS. The first enablement can trigger a macOS permission prompt.

If delivery is enabled but nothing appears, open System Settings > Notifications > Supaterm and verify macOS permission.

Glowing Pane Ring

Enable Glowing Pane Ring to highlight a pane when terminal or coding-agent activity needs attention.

Turning off the ring removes only the in-pane glow. Unread attention and sidebar badges remain.

The sidebar can show an unread count, a bell, an agent-attention mark, and the latest notification preview. Focusing the relevant pane acknowledges its unread state.

Send a notification from a command

Inside Supaterm, notify the current pane:

sp pane notify --title "Build complete" --body "All checks passed"

Pass a pane selector or UUID to notify another pane:

sp pane notify 1/2/3 --body "Deploy complete"

Notification text may be visible on the lock screen according to macOS notification settings. Avoid putting secrets in titles or bodies.
