Alerter 26.2 — The Swift Era, Refined

Alerter has been completely rebuilt from the ground up.

Starting with version 26.0, Alerter continues to mature after its landmark rewrite in Swift. The entire codebase has been modernized, delivering a cleaner, faster, and more reliable notification experience on macOS. Whether you're building automation scripts, integrating notifications into CI/CD pipelines, or just need a quick way to send alerts from the terminal, Alerter 26.2 is ready.

What's new in the 26.x series

  • Fully rewritten in Swift. Say goodbye to the legacy Objective-C implementation. Alerter now leverages Swift Package Manager and Swift Argument Parser for a modern, maintainable architecture. The result? A snappier tool with cleaner CLI syntax.

  • New double-dash CLI syntax. You can now use standard CLI conventions with --message, --title, --json, and all other options. It's the command-line experience you'd expect from a modern tool.

  • Install with Homebrew. We're excited to announce first-class Homebrew support! Just run brew install vjeantet/tap/alerter and you're up and running in seconds. No more manual downloads.

  • Signed and notarized by Apple. Alerter is now code-signed and notarized, so macOS trusts it out of the box. No more Gatekeeper warnings, no more manual security exceptions — just install, and run.

  • Proper bundle identity. Alerter now uses its own identity (fr.vjeantet.alerter) by default instead of impersonating Terminal. Your notifications look and behave exactly as they should.

  • Reply, actions, JSON output, Do Not Disturb override, and more — all the features you rely on are still here, now running on a cleaner, faster engine.
