About BetterNotif
BetterNotif is a native macOS app that watches a Stripe account and raises a desktop notification when something happens: a payment comes in, a refund or dispute is opened, or a customer cancels, upgrades or downgrades a subscription. It is aimed at owners of online businesses who would rather get an alert on their Mac than keep checking the Stripe dashboard in a browser tab.
Beyond alerts, the app has a dashboard that lives in the menu bar and shows conversions, customer growth and financial trends in one view. A transaction view lists successful payments, failed transactions, refunds and disputes so payment problems can be spotted and handled quickly. The listing says data stays on the device, that the app can be customized to different workflows, and that other payment providers can be connected. The site shows a $9.99 purchase price, a free download, and one year of free updates and support included with the purchase.
