I use google calendar and zoom for remote work, and I'm in a role with a lot of meetings. Embarrassingly, I'm showing up very late to a lot of them.<p>If I see a meeting coming up, I usually join early to avoid missing it. But if a meeting is running long into the next meeting, or if I forgot I had back-to-back meetings and go grab a snack or pick up a project, it can be 5-15 minutes before I notice I'm supposed to be there. I get notifications from my calendar in the top left of my screen, and sometimes coworkers remind me in slack, which also goes to a top left notification, but I'm effectively blind to these notifications when I'm working or talking to someone, so I'm looking for something that forces me to break focus.<p>I can't rely on audio being on or on having my phone on me. Ideally, I want a popup in the middle of my screen or a full screen takeover. Is there something I can run on my Mac that will do that for me?
I don’t have Ventura installed, but <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25357376/getting-notification-list-from-os-x-notification-center" rel="nofollow">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25357376/getting-notific...</a> may still work.<p>Basically, a program running in the background can use file system events to detect when the database storing notifications is updated, and then query it.
pmset displaysleepnow<p>this is a terminal command that forces the screens off (and depending on how you have it set, requires you to login again, it's like closing the lid).<p>That might be somehow something you can work into it.<p>Also check out Automator: <a href="https://support.apple.com/guide/automator/welcome/mac" rel="nofollow">https://support.apple.com/guide/automator/welcome/mac</a> as that can probably do something too.
