What does Chirpy do exactly?

Chirpy plays custom sounds for Slack or Microsoft Teams notifications on macOS. It runs alongside your Slack or Microsoft Teams app, detecting incoming alerts and playing different sounds based on who or what they're from — channels, people, apps, or even keywords.

Does Chirpy read my Slack or Microsoft Teams messages?

No — Chirpy doesn't connect to Slack or read your messages. It reacts to system-level notifications only. Your message content stays private.

What are the system requirements?

Chirpy runs on macOS 12 (Monterey) or newer. It needs accessibility permissions to detect notifications — but it never reads your messages or accesses personal data.

Will Chirpy slow down my Mac?

Not at all. Chirpy is a lightweight, native macOS app (just 7.8 MB) designed to run quietly in your menu bar using minimal resources.

What happens after the free trial?

After the 3-day free trial, you can purchase Chirpy for a one-time payment of $9.99. No subscription — you get lifetime access and all future updates.

What if I don't like it?

No worries — Chirpy offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. Just email support@chirpy.pro and you'll get a full refund.

Can I upload my own sounds?

Yes — you can upload any audio file as a custom notification sound, or choose from 72+ curated sounds included with Chirpy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chirpy assigns custom notification sounds to your Slack and Microsoft Teams alerts on macOS. Instead of the same generic ping for every message, you create rules — match a channel, person, keyword, or app to any sound you want. When a notification arrives, Chirpy plays the sound you chose, so you hear what matters without checking your screen.

Just drag and drop the app into your Applications folder. When you open it, grant accessibility access and set Slack or Microsoft Teams' notification sound to "None" (Preferences > Notifications > Notification sound). That's it — you're ready to create rules and hear custom sounds.

Stop Treating Every Ping Like It Matters

Try Chirpy free for 3 days. If custom notification sounds don't improve your focus, just delete it.
