SENotifier, a Stack Exchange inbox notifier for Mac OS X

##Screenshot / Code Snippet

##About

SENotifier is a Mac OS X app that shows the current contents of your Stack Exchange inbox in the menu bar. Inspired by Google Notifier.

I created this app so the inbox notifier would be visible all the time, instead of only when a Stack Exchange page was loaded in the browser.

This app uses the new Stack Exchange API v2.0 with authentication, so it can get the current contents of your inbox.

###License

BSD license after 1 March 2012.

###Download

Download (78 kb .dmg)

###Platform

SENotifier requires Mac OS X.

SENotifier was developed with XCode 4.2 on Lion. As this is my first Mac OS X app ever, feedback about compatibility with other versions of Mac OS X is appreciated.

##Code

This app is developed in Objective-C using XCode 4.2. No (Stack Exchange) libraries were harmed in the creation of this software (that means the authentication flow is all straight Objective-C code). SBJson is used for the JSON parsing bits.

The code will be available on Github after 1 March 2012.
