About Catch

Catch is a menu bar app built to keep every macOS notification in a searchable history instead of letting it vanish with the banner. The history is designed to filter by app, search across everything at once, mark items read or unread, snooze on a choice of timers, and clear in bulk once you have caught up. The idea is that a notification you swiped away by reflex is still somewhere you can go and read it, at your own pace rather than the sender's.

Who it's for

Anyone who misses important notifications by dismissing too quickly.

What it does

  • Searchable notification history
  • Filter by app and search across all notifications
  • Snooze with multiple time options
  • Mark as read/unread and bulk-clear
