You can set Notification Center to display X number of "recent" items, but is there some way you can set those items to drop off the list after a certain amount of time? I don't need things like this cluttering up the list, and I don't want to have to spend time manually cleaning it up:
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
I did make a formal feature request, thanks.
I can spend a few seconds cleaning up the NC list; it just irks me a little that I have to. That's the sort of thing computers are really good at doing themselves, if you let them. I'd be perfectly happy with one button that cleared the entire list, rather than having to click an X for each app that generates notifications.
It's a pretty minor problem any which way, though, I reckon.

I know ;-) That said, there's no way to do it. If you don't want the mess, you have to clean it up. You could always make a feature request to Apple (bugreport.apple.com) but you can clean up everything in Notification Center in about 3 seconds and nobody's so busy they can't spare 3 seconds a week :-)
Thanks for the reply - I'm not sure what you mean by "end time," though.
Your screen shot didn't post. Please try again and use the camera symbol in the reply box.
They drop off after the end time, so when you set up something choose a short end time.
Nope. There's a limit on the number of items in a section, but they don't "expire" and disappear.
You could click that little X and be done with 3 of them right there 😁

That's kinda what I'm trying to avoid when I say "I don't want to have to spend time manually cleaning it up." 🙂
Notification Center item expiration date?
