##About

SENotifier is a Mac OS X app that shows the current contents of your Stack Exchange inbox in the menu bar and was inspired by Gmail 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.

###Download

###Platform

##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 is available on GitHub at https://github.com/ghewgill/senotifier.
