Quill Notify · for Mac

Never miss what matters.

Same Jefferson. Fewer missed moments.
The Quill Notify app icon: an engraved feather quill on cream, its nib trailing a neon line.

A small menu-bar app that keeps a live line to Jefferson. When Jefferson or your team needs you, it shows up on your screen; your answer goes straight back.

Version 0.2.0 · macOS 14 Sonoma or later · Apple silicon and Intel · signed and notarized by Apple

What it does

Jefferson can reach you, politely.

01

Banners you can answer.

Questions and notes arrive as Mac notifications with the answers on the buttons. Pick one; Jefferson has it.

02

Full-screen when it's urgent.

The things that cannot wait cover every screen until you deal with them, or snooze them.

03

An inbox and a widget.

Recent important items in the menu bar and on your desktop, with snooze and dismiss.

04

Quiet hours.

Choose when Quill stays quiet. Only urgent items break through.

05

A text when you're away.

Optional: add your mobile number and an important item you haven't seen becomes an SMS.

06

A screenshot when you ask.

Ask Jefferson to look at your screen and it can, once you have allowed Screen Recording.

Install

Two minutes, start to finish.

  1. Download and open the DMG.

    QuillNotify-latest.dmg. Double-click it in Downloads.

  2. Drag Quill Notify to Applications.

    Then eject the disk image.

  3. Open Quill Notify.

    From Applications or Spotlight. The quill appears in your menu bar, near the clock.

  4. Sign in with Bio-ID.

    Use the same account you use for the portal and Ask Jefferson.

  5. Allow Notifications and Screen Recording.

    macOS asks for each. Notifications are needed for banners; Screen Recording only for screenshots you ask for. Both can be changed later in Settings › General.

  6. Optional: add your mobile number.

    Settings › Escalation, for the text when you're away.

  7. Add the Jefferson connector in Claude.

    In Claude, Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector, URL https://mcp.askjefferson.com, then sign in with Bio-ID. Jefferson can then send to your Mac.

It updates itself.

Quill Notify checks for a new version once a day and installs it for you. Menu bar › Check for Updates… does it now.
Requirements
