Apple’s MacOS offers notifications that appear in the upper right corner of the screen. These can be for new email messages, meeting reminders, task reminders, and app-specific notifications. If you don’t respond to the notification right away, it hides, but it doesn’t disappear completely.
The Notification Center provides quick access to these active notifications, as well as a customizable collection of handy widgets. Using the notification center to manage notifications and use widgets is quick and easy.
