How to view Notifications after they float off the screen?

What I’m trying to do

Running on Windows 10 & 11 and on Mac

During app launch and various other times, Alerts/Notifications appear (stack up) in the upper-right corner.

1st, I really wish they would not disappear … at least not so quickly. It seems like a setting would exist, but I can’t find it.

2nd, I really need to see what they said… It seems like if there are alerts, then there is a screen somewhere to See and Dismiss them…

With a hair-trigger print-screen, I caught some of them:

Things I have tried

• I have looked around the Forum
• In the Help / Docs
• Google search
• Searched in the Menus and Settings
• Clicked on numerous buttons; and even screen areas with no buttons :lol:

I found one question in here asking the same thing – no legitimate answers… and another suggestion to move Alerts from upper-left corner… That’s it…

Grace and Peace,
thomas

There’s a feature request here you could give a heart to (an upvote):

Keep a log of notification bubbles (toast)

Use case or problem When you are trying to recall notifications, there is nowhere to find a log of them. Proposed solution If there were a log, it would be much easier to understand what the notifications were communicating. Sometimes you are distracted, or there are multiple in quick succession, or you simply forget. Current workaround Take screenshots.

I wonder if GitHub - gapmiss/notice-logger: An Obsidian.md plugin for logging all notices to the developer console, with optional prefix. would provide a solution. I haven’t tried it but it might be useful
