Give monday.com its own notification sound on your Mac

Why monday.com notifications all blur together on a Mac

macOS plays one alert sound for every notification and only lets you switch an app's sound on or off — never change it. monday.com's desktop app speaks for every board you're subscribed to, so the item that was just put in your name pings exactly like a status column changing on a project you only glance at weekly.

The volume compounds it: status changes, automations, replies, due dates, and new items all stream in with the same chime. The update that's actually addressed to you — the assignment, the @mention — is easy to lose in activity you're only supposed to be aware of.

What you can do without TrillMark

• monday.com's notification settings. Under your profile you can choose which events notify you — assignments, @mentions, replies, board activity — and that's the right first pruning. But it doesn't change how anything sounds on your Mac.
• System Settings › Notifications › monday.com. Toggle the sound on or off and pick banner vs. alert — but there's no custom sound, and no way to make an assignment sound different from board traffic.
• Unsubscribe from boards you only visit. Leaving boards you don't work on daily cuts the stream — but whatever still notifies your Mac shares that one chime.
• Do Not Disturb or a Focus. These quiet everything while you concentrate, but that hides the assignment rather than making it recognizable when it does come through.

How TrillMark makes the items in your name stand out

monday.com has a Mac desktop app, so TrillMark reacts to the banner it already shows — no browser needed. Add monday.com, give it a sound and a color, and because TrillMark can read the notification's text, add a rule that fires only for what needs you: the text contains your name, “assigned,” or an @mention.

So an assignment or an @mention arrives as a louder sound you recognize plus a colored flash labeled with the app's name, while board activity stays soft or silent. You keep the awareness of what's moving without paying for it in attention.

It reads that text only on your Mac, only to decide how to react, and never sends it anywhere.

Set it up in about a minute

1. Open TrillMark and add monday.com from the popular-apps list or a recent alert.
2. Give it a sound you'll know by ear and a color; TrillMark labels the flash with the app's name.
3. Add a rule for what needs you — the text contains your name, “assigned,” or an @mention — and give it a louder, more distinct sound.
4. Optional: let the rest of the board traffic use a soft tone or no sound, so only your work reaches you by ear.
5. Turn off the system sound for monday.com in Notification settings so you hear only the sound you chose.
