Wait for the morning note
Slap Alert slaps one note each morning with yesterday's sales, once Apple's report is out (about 8 a.m. Pacific). The first note covers the day before.
The key stays on your Mac
The .p8 key is stored in your Mac's keychain and never leaves it. Slap Alert uses it to sign a short-lived token that it sends only to Apple (api.appstoreconnect.apple.com), over HTTPS, to download your own daily sales summary. You can remove it from Connect Sales… → Disconnect. If you only use App Store sales, your Mac never contacts the Slap Alert relay.
