Notifications & Quiet

What notifies

When Relay is in the background, two things reach Notification Center: someone saying your name in a channel, and any private message. Clicking a notification brings you straight to that conversation. While you're actively using Relay, nothing pops — the sidebar badges cover it.

The switches (Settings → Notifications)

Switch What it does
Notify on mentions channel messages containing your name or a keyword
Notify on direct messages private messages
Show unread count on Dock icon the little number on the Dock

Highlight keywords

Add words like "deploy" or your project's name — messages containing them count as mentions: red badge, highlight, notification. Your nickname always counts.

Quiet

Right-click any channel or chat → Quiet. A quiet conversation collects no badges and sends no notifications — it just sits there until you open it. A small bell-with-slash marks it. Unquiet the same way.
