history

Project history and usage

Badgeify is a proprietary macOS utility that places application icons and notification state in the menu bar, provides quick launching, and can group related applications under one icon.

Project history

Badgeify began with pre-1.0 releases in 2024 that established app badge tracking, quick launching, drag-and-drop organization, and menu-bar visibility controls. Version 1.0.0 introduced application groups in October 2024.

Development continued with notification integrations, customization and resource-use improvements. Version 1.9.2 added a bundled badgeify command with list and status subcommands, while the 1.13 series added settings export and import.

Adoption history

Badgeify initially supported core menu-bar notification tracking and quick launching, with a free tier limited to three apps. Later releases added application groups, per-app visibility controls, macOS appearance refinements, a bundled command-line interface, and settings import/export.

The project targets users who hide the Dock, want visible notification state, or prefer launching frequently used applications from the menu bar.

How it is used

Users grant macOS Accessibility permission, add applications to Badgeify, and configure when their icons or notification counts appear. Advanced users can query badge state through the bundled CLI or export settings for backup and transfer.

Why package nerds care

Badgeify is a focused macOS utility whose appeal lies in integrating otherwise separate application icons and badge counts into the system menu bar. Its Homebrew cask and bundled JSON-producing CLI make it relevant both to GUI-oriented Mac setups and light automation.
