How to Set Custom Notification Sounds in Slack with Chirpy
Are you tired of the same old Slack notification sounds? Do you want to take control of your digital workspace and make it more personal? With Chirpy, customizing your Slack notifications is easy, and it does real work for your productivity and focus. Here’s how to set custom sounds for your Slack notifications in a few steps.
Step 1: Download and Install Chirpy
First things first, you’ll need to get Chirpy on your device. Head over to the Chirpy website and download the app. Follow the installation instructions for your operating system, and you’ll be ready to go in no time!
Step 2: Grant Accessibility Permission
Once you’ve installed Chirpy, open the app. Chirpy does not connect to Slack and never asks for your Slack credentials. Instead, macOS asks you to grant Accessibility permission, which lets Chirpy read the text of notifications as they appear on your Mac. Everything is matched locally, and nothing is sent to a server. Approving the prompt takes a few seconds.
While you’re setting up, open Slack and set its own notification sound to None (Preferences → Notifications → Sound). That way you hear Chirpy’s sound instead of Slack’s on top of it.
Step 3: Choose Which Channels or Messages to Customize
Now that Chirpy is connected, it’s time to decide which Slack channels or message types you want to customize. Take a moment to think about your workflow. Do you want different sounds for team chats, direct messages, or project updates? Make a list of your priorities, and you’ll be ready for the next step.
Step 4: Select or Upload Custom Sounds
Here comes the fun part! Chirpy allows you to select from a library of sounds or upload your own. Browse through the available sounds or click the “Upload” button to choose a custom sound that resonates with you. Whether it’s a quirky sound for team updates or a professional tone for important messages, the choice is yours!
Step 5: Save Your Settings
Once you’ve set your desired sounds, make sure to save your settings. Chirpy will now use your personalized notification sounds for the selected Slack channels and messages. Take a moment to enjoy your new setup!
