The problem
You glance at your phone in a meeting. You see the alert. You'll deal with it after.
You don't.
By the time you remember, the customer has emailed twice, the deploy has timed out, the on-call escalation rolled to the next person, and someone's asking why nobody saw it.
The problem isn't notifications. You got the notification. The problem is forgetting.
A persistent queue you can't ignore, can't fake-clear, and can't lose track of.
A persistent floating bar sits flush with your menu bar, on every Space, above every window. You don't have to remember to check Slack. The queue is already there.
Every alert is a row. Every row stays until you click Ack. No "marked as read" tricks. No notification-dot inbox theater. Done means you decided it's done.
Fresh alerts are white. After 5 minutes they go yellow. After 15, orange. After 30, red. The bar emoji reflects the worst row - 🟢 🟡 🟠 🔴 at a glance.
Tap any row to open the original message in your Slack client. The queue is your inbox. Slack is where you reply.
The trigger prefix
Type slacknowledge: pick this up later in any Slack channel - from your phone, from a DM with yourself, from anywhere - and it lands in your desktop queue. The prefix strips. The author doesn't matter. You decide what's worth nagging yourself about.
In Slack - any channel, any device
In your queue - prefix stripped, ready to Ack
It's a write-API for your own attention.
Everything, while you're subscribed.
