Write Toast Notifications with PowerShell

If you run PowerShell Desktop on (obviously) Windows, you can use the module „BurntToastNotifications“ to display notifications like the one above on a Windows Desktop. The module has quite a range of options for the notifications like silent, expirationtime, snooze and dismiss, so all your requirements for this should be covered. Read Leos Marek blog on how to use them.

PowerShell and essential tools on macOS

I have to admit, i was a 30 years Windows User and finally landed on a Macbook Pro. With all the downsides of NOT having Windows in a Microsoft environment i will never give this tool away. If you also have a macbook and want to get a great PowerShell environment, read Mike F. Robbins blog on how to achieve this.
