Hi, With org-notify.el you don't need an external messaging app, you can do all in emacs. > I found org-notify.el, > (https://github.com/p-m/org-notify/blob/master/org-notify.el) > but it seems to require a "notify" property on any headline that you > want to be notified of. It's also optional. When the "notify" property is missing, a default value will be used. > I would like org-mode to automatically notify me (on the status > bar, etc) for > any headline that has a time associated with it. Today, org-notify.el requires a "DEADLINE"-timestamp, but this can easily be changed in the code. > I also don't want to rely on an external program because I use org-mode > on different systems. See above. There are predefined functions for displaying a message in the minibuffer or in a new emacs window, and you can define other functions, that do whatever you want (something with the modeline for example). -- Peter
