macOS banners always pop up in the same corner and look the same. Bubbly shows them in any of 9 spots on any display, in 10 themes, or in the notch, as a bubble from the app's Dock icon, or from a little character. Free to use; Pro is a one-time purchase.

Could you build this?
Partial The settings UI, themes, and bubble or character animations are vibe-codeable in Swift/SwiftUI, but reliably intercepting and re-rendering system notifications, and drawing in the notch area, depends on undocumented macOS behavior and private APIs.
What it would actually take: A real version would be a native macOS app in Swift with AppKit/SwiftUI, plus a window-overlay layer that positions content on any display and around the notch. The hard part is notification capture and presentation, which often needs accessibility permissions, private framework calls, and testing across macOS versions. That takes someone comfortable with macOS internals and app notarization, not just prompt-driven code generation.
