terminal-notifier
terminal-notifier is a free, open-source command-line tool that sends native macOS user notifications from shell scripts, build systems, and automation workflows. Developers and system administrators use it to surface important events—build completions, deployments, server alerts, or custom app status—directly into the macOS notification center without requiring a GUI application. It supports custom sounds, opening URLs when clicked, and integrates seamlessly with scripts, cron jobs, CI/CD pipelines, and notification-forwarding systems.

The simplest way to get a native Apple Silicon build is through Homebrew: run "brew install terminal-notifier" or if already installed, "brew upgrade terminal-notifier". Homebrew automatically detects your Mac's architecture and serves the native arm64 build for the current version. If you downloaded a precompiled binary directly from the GitHub releases page in the past, check the latest releases to see if a native arm64 build is listed; if so, download the arm64 binary to replace your Intel version. If only Intel binaries are available, Homebrew is the safer choice since it handles architecture detection automatically. Since you have until late 2027 before Rosetta 2 is removed in macOS 28, confirm your installation channel now and verify you are running the native build.
