🔁 Repeat notifications help you actually remember to take your medication.
🧠 We all see a notification come in while we’re busy doing things and then immediately forget about it.

Does anyone know of a way to get notified when the Dock is shown or hidden when "Automatically hide and show the Dock" is enabled? I think this is the last brick I need in order to finalize the performance improvements for Festivitas
