I've been thinking about this a lot while building my app. Most of us have 10+ apps that ping us, Slack, Teams, Mail, Calendar, Discord, and they all basically sound the same, so we've trained ourselves to check every single one.
I got obsessed with the idea that your Mac should sound like your actual life: a specific sound for your boss, a cha-ching when a sale lands, something soft for a friend, silence for the noise. So I built Chirpy to do exactly that (just launched 3.0, it now works with any app in Notification Center, not just Slack/Teams).
Curious how other people handle this:
do you turn most notification sounds off entirely, or keep them on?
if you could give one app or person its own distinct sound, what would it be?
