A Rust library for displaying desktop notifications on Linux/BSD (via XDG/dbus), macOS, and Windows. It provides a builder-style API for sending notifications with summaries, bodies, icons, timeouts, and hints.
Use cases
- show a desktop notification from my rust app
- send toast notifications on windows from rust
- display notifications on linux following the xdg spec
- notify the user when a long-running task finishes
- show persistent notifications that stay until acknowledged
- send notifications with icons or images on linux and macos
When to choose
- you are building a Rust desktop or CLI application that needs native OS notifications
- you need cross-platform notification support across Linux/BSD, macOS, and Windows
- you want a simple builder API without dealing with dbus directly
When to avoid
- you need notifications in a non-Rust language
- you need rich interactive notifications with buttons and actions beyond basic hints
- you are building a web or mobile app where OS notifications are handled differently
