Periph gives Mac alerts an edge
A macOS menu bar app uses screen-edge lights and motion to signal meetings, agent activity, sales, microphone use, and focus sessions.
- For
- Mac users tracking meetings, builds, sales, or microphone status
- Worth noticing
- Custom `periph://` links can set an effect, duration, colour, title, and optional button that opens a web link.
Field notes
Setup is presented as a short sequence: move the app to Applications, open it, enter a licence key, then enable only the integrations needed. Calendar access drives meeting countdowns; Claude Code connects with one click; sales alerts use a read-only payment-platform key. Custom `periph://` links can set a title, colour, effect, duration, and optional web-link button, and can be opened from Terminal, Shortcuts, Raycast, or cron. The page lists support for macOS 14 or later.
