One of which is the Deliver Quietly feature. The namesake feature from iPhone and iPad works in the same way on your Mac.<\/p>\n<p>When enabled, new notifications from the app will go quietly to the Notification Center, ready for you when you are. You won\u2019t see banners and the notification won\u2019t make a sound.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Quickly_Mute_App_Notifications_on_Mac\"><\/span>How to Quickly Mute App Notifications on Mac<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can use the Deliver Quietly feature directly from the Notification Center.
