Hi, There seems to be a bug with badges not updating properly (on Mac) for the Fibery icon. When something new appears in the inbox, the badge count updates, but when it is marked as done in the inbox, the badge count remains unchanged. Also, when the app is closed and reopened, the badge is empty, whether or not there are unactioned items in the inbox. We generally use badges as alerts, and have a built-in assumption that these work the same as email (showing unread emails), which is a flag for action, so having badges which don’t update can either flag action, which is not needed, or don’t flag action when it is needed, going against the standard productivity approach. I’m hoping this would be a simple bug to fix 🙏 Thanks Mark ---

Are you referring to the macOS system badge in app icon or the badge inside Fibery’s inbox itself? ---

Hi Alex I am referring to the macOS system badge on the app icon in the dock. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/0/0345ad19bce9de0ae2f14aa251d7defb3f041e25.png) Fibery’s inbox numbers seem to work as expected. ---

The system badge on desktop and mobile currently shows only unread items in the Inbox. If you mark everything as read, the badge won’t appear. ![Screenshot 2026-06-24 at 15.03.56](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/d/d9dea4db2406b77895743aa9076c8b4950eb8e07.png) ---

Hi Alex, I can’t seem to reproduce what I was seeing before, and your comment answers how it works. I’m happy to close this one off. Thanks ---
