" ... Now I keep applications hidden, calling up things like Mail with rcmd if I happen to glance at Badgeify in the menu bar, so when I open anything it is with intention. Work actually gets done. "

" I use it solely to add notification icons in my menu bar for Mail and Messages, which is super useful for me as I keep my dock minimized and I'm often in another desktop space than my Mail and Messages windows. "

" ...That's the exact reason why I use Badgeify: I keep my Dock always hidden and can still see if there are any mails / messages in my menu bar. "

" LOVE THIS. The Mac menubar is underrated and I often work with Cursor and ChatGPT to make me Menubar apps. This was super smart. "

" Badgeify can be very useful if you don't tend to keep your Dock active at all times and have notification banners and alerts disabled. Those using Dock replacers might also benefit from it. "
