##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.

###Download

Download (340 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 is available on Github at https://github.com/ghewgill/senotifier.
