Turn your Mac’s screen into ad space and earn money
AdsNotch is a native macOS app that shows ads in a small, unobtrusive screen notch and shares the advertising revenue with you. Ads can seamlessly expand when relevant events happen, then disappear when you're done.
I built AdsNotch around a simple thought: if advertisers are paying for your attention, why shouldn't you get a share?
AdsNotch is a native macOS app that creates a small advertising surface on your screen. It stays out of the way while you work, and can seamlessly expand into richer ads at appropriate moments.
Advertisers pay AdsNotch, and part of that revenue goes directly to the people actually seeing the ads.
I've spent a lot of time trying to make the experience feel like part of macOS rather than a banner pasted on top of it, especially the animations between the compact notch and larger formats.
This is the first public version, so I'd especially love feedback on the concept, the notch experience, and what would make you comfortable keeping something like this on your Mac.
Thanks for checking it out ❤️
