Option 1: Using AppleScript + Node-RED

AppleScript can listen for notifications from specific apps and send them to Node-RED using HTTP or MQTT.

Steps:

1. Create an AppleScript to Listen for Notifications Open the Script Editor (/Applications/Utilities/Script Editor.app) and enter this:

   applescript

   Copy code

   on notify(theApp, theTitle, theMessage) do shell script "curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{\"app\":\"" & theApp & "\", \"title\":\"" & theTitle & "\", \"message\":\"" & theMessage & "\"}' http://localhost:1880/notifications" end notify

   Save it as NotificationListener.scpt.

2. Create a macOS Automator Service

   • Open Automator (/Applications/Automator.app).
   • Select New > Service.
   • Add an AppleScript action and paste the script above.
   • Save the service and name it something like "Send Notification to Node-RED".

3. Route Notifications to This Service

   • Open System Preferences > Notifications.
   • Select an app you want to monitor (e.g., Slack, Mail, Messages).
   • Change Notification Style to Alerts (if needed).
   • Check if Automator detects the notifications and runs the script.

4. Set Up Node-RED to Receive Notifications

   • In Node-RED, create an HTTP In node (POST /notifications).
   • Connect it to a debug node or process it further.

Option 2: Using Swift + Background Script

A more advanced approach is to use a Swift script to listen for system notifications globally. This would require writing a small macOS app that captures notifications and forwards them to Node-RED via MQTT or HTTP.

Let me know if you’d like a Swift-based solution, and I can guide you through it! ?
