So an important email is something you hear the moment it lands — even when Gmail is notifying you through Chrome or Safari.
macOS plays one alert sound for every notification and only lets you switch an app's sound on or off — never change it. So Gmail sounds exactly like Slack, a reminder, or anything else, and an email you were waiting for is easy to miss in the pile.
Gmail is also a moving target on a Mac: it can notify you through the browser (Chrome or Safari), through the built-in Mail app, or through a third-party client. When it comes from the browser, macOS labels the banner with the browser's name — “Google Chrome” — not “Gmail,” which makes it even harder to pick out.
TrillMark reacts to the banner macOS shows, so it works no matter how Gmail reaches you. If Gmail notifies through Mail, add Mail. If it notifies through the browser, add Chrome or Safari — and here's the useful part: because TrillMark can read the notification's text, you can add a rule that fires only when the banner is actually from Gmail, or from a particular sender or subject, instead of for every web notification the browser shows.
Give it a sound you'll recognize and a color, and important mail arrives as a sound you know plus a labeled flash — a soft tone for everyday email, a louder one for a rule like “when the subject contains ‘invoice’” or a specific client's name.
TrillMark reads that text only on your Mac, only to decide how to react, and never sends it anywhere — which matters for email.
Give Gmail its own sound and a colored, labeled flash. Leave your email and I'll let you know the moment it's ready.
Not with Gmail or macOS alone — Gmail uses your Mac's single alert sound whether it notifies through the browser or the Mail app, and macOS only lets you turn that sound on or off. TrillMark reacts to the notification and plays a sound you choose, with a colored, labeled flash, so Gmail is easy to pick out.
Yes. Because TrillMark can read the notification's text, you can add a rule that fires only when the banner is from Gmail — or from a specific sender or subject — instead of for every notification Chrome shows. The text is read only on your Mac and never leaves it.
Yes. Add a rule that matches that sender's name or a subject keyword and give it a louder, more distinct sound, while everyday mail stays soft or silent.
