Checkout toastify, it exposes most of the functionality of the lib to the commandline.
This library shines on linux and bsd, which is it's original target platform. However lately it gained minimal support for macOS. However this only includes a small subset of the current functionality, since NSNotifications don't have as many features. You are a versed macOS UI developer with mad Objective-C skillz? PRSV.
