Time's up? Make it an entrance.

How it works
A 1.9-second stinger
The pill drops below the camera into a wide banner, a colour panel wipes across, the icon drives in, a bold headline slams down with a few sparkles and a scoreboard chip rolls in its value.
Alarms punch twice
Timers, meetings and reminders punch the headline twice. Routine events like a file added, something copied, a new track or a device connecting stay quiet.
Your choice of style
Choose Celebration, Colour flash or None in Settings › Appearance › Alert animation. Reduce Motion turns it into a short fade.
Quiet by default
Alerts can play a soft wooden tick-tick instead of a chime, or stay silent. Pick Silent, Tick-tick or tick plus chime.
Honest chips
The chip only ever shows a value the alert itself contains. No value, no chip.
