BannerSweep

Dismiss macOS notification banners with a keyboard shortcut

macOS doesn't have a built-in keyboard shortcut to dismiss notification banners. If you use Reminders, Calendar alerts, or any app that puts persistent banners on your screen, the only way to get rid of them is to click the tiny close button with your mouse.

BannerSweep fixes that. One keyboard shortcut dismisses the topmost notification banner on your screen, so you never have to take your hands off the keyboard.

How it works

Press Cmd+Escape (default, customizable) and BannerSweep instantly dismisses whatever notification banner is currently on your screen. That's it.

Features

One-key dismiss - Default shortcut is Cmd+Escape, fully customizable to any key combination
Lightweight - Runs in the background with negligible CPU and memory usage
Stealthy - Option to show in the menu bar or hide it entirely
Works with everything - Dismisses banners from Reminders, Calendar, Mail, Slack, or any app
Native macOS - Feels like a built-in feature Apple forgot to add
