You can also quickly reply to new messages in the notification center. You can also add widgets to the notification center, which enables you to collect your daily schedule and life information in the notification center.
How to call the notification center?
There are two ways to call the notification center. The most convenient way is to swipe left from the far right of the trackpad with two fingers. Another way is to click the notification center icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
Adjust the widgets in the notification center
The Mac notification center, like iOS, has two “Today” and “Notifications” pages. You can place widgets on the Today page. If you want to add or remove widgets, press “Edit” at the bottom of the page and widgets that can be added will appear on the right.
Press ⊕ to join and to remove the Widget just press the upper left corner of the Widget.
If you want to rearrange widgets, you can simply drag the widgets up and down without pressing Edit.
Select useful widgets
Although there are many widgets built into the notification center, some of them are not very practical. It is recommended that you remove the widgets you would not normally use and leave only the ones you would actually use. The “computer” widgets, for example, are not very useful. Unlike the iPhone, which has a touch screen, the Mac has to input inputs one by one with a cursor, which is cumbersome and inefficient.
If you have to do some calculations, I would recommend it
The only widgets I use most are iTunes, Weather, Calendar, and Reminders.
The weather
calendar
Reminders such as: Package collection at 6:00 p.m.
Sync the notification center with the iPhone
Tip: If you have an iPhone, you can sync all this information on your Mac with your iPhone. For example, if you add a “next Wednesday meeting” calendar to your iPhone, it will automatically sync with your Mac calendar and show up in the notification center.
Step 1: Log in to your iCloud account on your Mac
Go to “System Preferences” > “iCloud” on the Mac and log in to the same iCloud account as on the iPhone.
Step 2: Set iPhone to Mac sync
Go to Settings > Apple ID on the iPhone and make sure your computer is in the list at the bottom. Then click iCloud at the top and select what you want to sync with your Mac.
Respond quickly to messages at the notification center
Apps like LINE and KakaoTalk can quickly respond to messages in the notification center. When a notification banner appears, simply move the cursor to the banner and a reply button appears. If you reply from the Notification page in the notification center, click to open the App.
Two switches hidden in the notification center: “Do not Disturb mode” and “NightShift”
When you open the notification center, you may not see the “Do not disturb mode” and “NightShift” switches, but you can find these two switches as long as you pull down the notification center to the bottom. NightShift was added after macOS 10.12.4. If you don’t see NightShift on or off, go to the AppStore first to see if macOS has been updated.
Tip: Do not disturb mode and NightShift do not need to be manually enabled. Do not disturb mode can be set in system Preferences > Notifications > Do not Disturb Mode. NightShift can be set in System Preferences > Monitor > NightShift.
The notification center collects all the information in your life, and when you need it, you can just swipe two fingers and he will appear. All the information can be seen in one eye, which is a very useful feature of the Mac.
