What Just Pinged Me?
A Mac menu bar app that tells you which app or tab just made a sound
It ends the hunt for that mystery notification sound by naming the app, system process or browser tab that played it.
What Just Pinged Me? listens to your Mac's system audio from the menu bar and identifies each sound: system alerts via logs, which apps were playing audio, matching sound files inside app bundles, and, with its browser extensions, the tab responsible. You can replay the captured clip. Recordings stay on the machine with no accounts or analytics. Free on the Mac App Store or as a direct download, for macOS 15 and later.
