For example the status bar would have a red notification saying "Dr Appointment in 15 minutes". I'm looking all over, and all I can find are posts about how to set up org-notify to call some external messaging app. I'm on OSX and don't want to purchase "Growl". 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. I would like org-mode to automatically notify me (on the status bar, etc) for any headline that has a time associated with it. I also don't want to rely on an external program because I use org-mode on different systems. Any ideas for a simple notification system that would "pop up" a message in Emacs itself, or on the status line? Thanks, --Nate
