A notification system you control...

Snarl is a notification system for Windows. It displays notifications on-screen for applications which support it.

It just works

It just works

With Snarl running, any Snarl-enabled application you install will automatically register with Snarl and start displaying notifications. There's no configuration or intervention required.

It's flexible

It's flexible

You control not only which applications display notifications but which notifications you want the application to display. All of this is centralised into a single location - Snarl's preferences - so you know where to look each time, no matter which application it is. You can also assign different looks to each notification.

It looks good

Snarl notifications can look pretty much how you want. Each individual notification can be displayed in a particular scheme from a particular style. A bunch of nice looking styles are included with Snarl and a Style SDK will be released soon.

R2.1 (V39) Progress

R2.1 entered internal (alpha, I suppose) testing last week and has since rolled through 3 iterations as bugs were found and feature improvements were raised. It'll soon enter beta testing (so, if you're interested, now's the time to get in touch) and after that I hope to release a Public Beta before we go final.

The list of improvements is long and winding, but here's what pops into my head:

- New API (existing API is still FULLY supported) which should make it easier for high-level languages/systems to access Snarl

- New, better looking, Preferences Panel

- 'EZ Styles' engine which allows for reasonably fancy styles using simple text files

- Network support - specifically, being able to forward notifications, receive incoming notifications and listen for local JSONs

- Support for right-click menus in notifications

- Lots of minor tweaks and improvements

- Better handling and management of 'Snarl Apps' (standalone applications which only talk to Snarl)

New extensions for Snarl

During the last days the number of new extensions has increased very fast. We now have five new extensions and those are for the following applications:

  • Foobar2000 (thanks to Skyler Kehren)
  • iTunes (thanks to Sebastian Vogelsang)
  • Launchy (thanks to f0vela)
  • Mirc (in fact this one is not new but was not linked on the homepage before - thanks to William Nguyen)
  • Miranda (thanks to Sven Walther (if I may say this as this is me ;-)))

Want to be the first to get informed about news from Snarl and its extensions? Just subscribe to one or both of our RSS-feeds available:

Also I know that there are at least two new extensions in progress - one for Skype and one for Outlook.

Progress

In case anyone's thinking development has slowed down, I can confirm that R2.07 is currently being beta tested and significant progress has been made on Prefs Kit 4, of which Snarl will be the first/main user.  As always I'm sure everyone likes to see some pics, so here they are:

R2.05 Out Now

R2.05 is now available for download. Apologies to those who've download R2.04 and have been suffering problems with it.

Changes:

  • Fixed stupid bug in Preferences Panel which caused Snarl to crash when the Save button was clicked;
  • (Rest as per 2.04):
  • Font smoothing can now be configured for styles that support it;
  • Preferences panel content changes to improve layout;
  • Right-clicking the 'close' gadget on a notification pops up a menu which allows all notifications, all notifications from the same app, or just the specific notification to be closed;
  • Numerous bug-fixes and enhancements.

Thanks
