Notifications
SupaSidebar shows a short notice when something happens that you can’t see right away, like a page saved to your sidebar, a link copied, or tabs closed. Each notice says what happened and, where it helps, offers a button such as Undo or Share.
How notices look and leave
A notice is a small card in your current Space’s color. A ring around its icon empties as the notice counts down, and it stops while your pointer is over the card, so you have time to read it or click a button. While SupaSidebar is still working, like copying a page’s address or closing tabs, the ring spins, then the same card changes to the result.
| Notice | Stays for |
|---|---|
| Errors and warnings | 6 seconds |
| Notices with Undo or Try again, like Folder Removed | 10 seconds |
| URL Copied | 4 seconds |
| Opening Pin | 2 seconds |
| Everything else | 3 seconds |
A newer notice replaces the one on screen instead of stacking.
Choose the corner
Notices appear in the top left of your screen. To move them, open Preferences → General → Notifications and set Position to Top Right. Picking a corner shows a sample notice there.
Share a copied link
After you copy a page’s address with Cmd Shift C, the URL Copied notice has a Share button. Click it to send the link through the macOS share menu, to Messages, Mail, AirDrop or any app that accepts links. The notice stays open while the share menu is up.
Undo a deleted folder or link
Deleting a folder moves its links, including the ones in its subfolders, to the Trash. The Folder Removed notice offers Undo, which brings back the folders and every link in them. Deleting a single link works the same way with Link Removed.
Mute a kind of notice
Each kind of notice has its own switch in Preferences → General → Notifications.
| Switch | Notices it controls |
|---|---|
| Save Page | Page Saved after Cmd Shift S |
| Copy URL | URL Copied after Cmd Shift C |
| Open Pin | Opening Pin after Opt 1 to Opt 9 |
| Save All Tabs | Tabs saved to a Space |
| Close Tabs in All Browsers | Closing Tabs and Tabs Closed |
| Add from Finder | Files or folders added from Finder |
| Paste Link | Link Added after pasting a URL into the sidebar |
| Link Removed | The Undo notice after deleting a link or folder |
Error notices always appear and can’t be muted, because they tell you what to fix.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| A notice disappears before you can read it | Move your pointer over it. The countdown stops until you move away |
| No notice after copying or saving | Check that its switch is on in Preferences → General → Notifications |
| Notices cover something you need | Set Position to the other corner |
