Universal approach — mute at the macOS level
macOS lets you silence any app's sound without disabling its notifications. The full visual walkthrough lives on the universal macOS method page. The short version:
- Open System Settings → Notifications.
- Scroll to Notion Calendar in the application list and click it.
- Turn off Play sound for notifications.
- Notion Calendar keeps showing banners and badges — just no audio.
How Chirpy fills the gap
Chirpy reads the notification title and matches it against your rules. That means you can do things Notion Calendar can't on its own — different sounds per channel, per person, per keyword, per server. Three quick examples:
- Boss mentions only: a distinct chime when their name appears in any Notion Calendar notification.
- Urgent channel: a louder sound when the notification contains
#urgentor#critical. - Silence everything else: a rule that matches all other Notion Calendar notifications with no sound — banners still appear, your day stays quiet.
Want sounds that actually mean something?
Chirpy adds rule-based custom sounds on top of macOS notifications. One sound for Notion Calendar mentions, another for your calendar, silence for the rest.
