Hiss for Mac

I prefer this over Growl, as Growl seems a bit bloated when only used to forward to notification center. The only thing I dislike about the app is that when running faceless the main window is displayed when launched (i.e. during login). It would be nice if the window could be hidden when launched (similar to how Growl is hidden when set to faceless).

Till Growl 2 comes out there is also Bark. http://barkplug.in Bark actually displays the app's icons in notification center unlike mountain growl or hiss. Of course it puts some weird bundle stuff on your machine to gain this ability (Growl 2 is supposed to do it a nicer way that Apple approves of.) If you want to uninstall Bark the ability is actually inside of Growl on Bark's style configuration section.

hi dev, are you aware of this? http://forums.adobe.com/message/4618349

Better, imo and many others, open source alternative to Hiss. https://github.com/stigi/MountainGrowl/downloads

Does what it says on the tin: route Growl alerts to the 10.8 Notification Manager. Until most app devs get around to fully supporting Notifications, it's a good way to leverage all the Growl-enabled apps out there, without the need for Growl itself. There are some limitations: all Growl alerts show up under one App group in Notifications. This isn't a bug; Notifications groups the alerts by app, and it can't tell which app sent the alert to Hiss. Not much the dev can do about that, it's an Apple architectural limitation.
