Hi Figma Team,
I’d love to request support for Native MacOS Notifications in the Figma desktop app. Currently, notifications only appear within the app itself, while the mobile app does a great job of utilizing native OS notifications. This creates a bit of a disconnect between platforms and can make it unclear where users should expect important updates.
Supporting MacOS’s native notification system would bring the desktop experience inline with the Figma mobile app and allow users to receive alerts even when Figma isn’t the active window. More importantly, MacOS provides robust notification preferences, giving users full control over how those alerts are displayed—whether silently, persistently, or not at all—based on their individual workflows and needs.
Native support would significantly improve visibility and responsiveness to things like design comments, file updates, or collaboration pings. It’s a small change with a big impact in terms of usability and consistency.
Thanks for considering this!
All the best,
Con
