Google Notifier for Mac: Does emails and calendars

Published on 8/20/2006 in Apple. View Comments Tags: Apple.

The new ~~Gmail~~ Google Notifier for Mac is quite cool. Not only does it let you know when you have a new email or appointment, but it sports two new audio alerts and a Growl-like transparent notification. Alas, it also reminds me that I have more spam to clear…

Ah... Google Notifier. Thanks for the clarification. :)

matreshka: Note that Google Notifier (not Gmail Notifier) just came out a few days ago. In addition to email, it handles calendars too.

Alec: Sure! From left, Google Notifier, Synergy (for iTunes), MenuMeters (pie chart + bar chart), MenuCalendarClock (iCal edition). All of them have free versions you can download.

YJ: Thanks for the Growl tip. Unlike everyone else, I wonder why I haven't had Google Calendar issues. I'm a pretty heavy Gcal user.

For those who prefer Growl, there's a new version of Gmail+Growl out that supports Google Notifier, available here.

I've been having the calendar problem too.

Kevin: Little OT but I'm curious what the icons you have in your bar are? Care to share.

I've been using it for a few months. So far so good. Hasn't given me problems such as the above tho.

I just installed the Google Notifier also, but it constantly asks me to log in again. I don't understand why!
