Specifically, Second Life Notifier download the web frame displaying the list of online friends from the Second Life website. By maintaining its own list of online friends, Second Life Notifier has the ability to notify you when one of your friend is now online or offline. However, in order for Second Life Notifier to be able to access the list containing your online friends, you need to login onto the Second Life website with your Second Life name, using Apple's own web browser, Safari.

Second Life Notifier uses various functionalities provided by Mac OS X to grab your attention whether you're working in another application, when the Second Life Notifier window is hidden in the background.
