terminal-notifier
terminal-notifier is a free, open-source command-line tool that sends native macOS user notifications (the standard alert bubbles available in macOS 10.10 and later) 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 can play sounds, open URLs when clicked, and integrates easily with scripts, cron jobs, CI/CD pipelines, and notification-forwarding systems.

1 suggestionterminal-notifier is an open-source project maintained on GitHub (julianhille/terminal-notifier). The latest releases are available both as precompiled binaries and via Homebrew (brew install terminal-notifier). The project appears to be actively maintained with recent updates, but we could not definitively confirm from the available search results whether a native Apple Silicon build is currently available. If you installed terminal-notifier via Homebrew, run "brew upgrade terminal-notifier" — Homebrew will serve the native Apple Silicon build automatically if one is available for the current version. If you downloaded a precompiled binary directly, check the GitHub releases page to see if a native arm64 build is listed alongside the Intel version; if only an Intel binary is available, Homebrew is the safer choice since it handles architecture detection. Given the September 2028 macOS 28 deadline when Rosetta 2 is removed, confirm your installation channel now and check the project's GitHub releases page or contact the maintainer if clarity is needed on native build status.
