Customize notifications on the mac?

Hi folks,

I spend my whole day on my Mac Powerbook (with external monitors), managing my work and personal calendars, I'm a heavy to dos user and of course email.

I get a lot of notifications popping up all the time. Sometimes I leave them up if I haven't gotten to them yet. Now, my company started using Microsoft Teams which, amazingly, puts its notifications under existing notification that might be up. So if I leave a to do notification up because I haven't done it yet, and someone is trying to call me or message me on Teams the notification can't be seen or clicked on until I dismiss the to do or other notification that's still up.

On top of that, sometimes the notifications are blocking other things in the upper right corner of my screen.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of an app or other way to customize notifications a little more on mac/os such as moving them or modifying behavior in other ways such that they match my workflow.

Right now, notification behavior is maddening.

Thanks in advance.

Nathan

Make sure that you have "Show in Notifications Center" ticked in Preferences>Notifications> (App Name). The, the notifications will be available in the Notifications Center and you can click on them in whatever order you want.
