Aurora turns your Mac notch or top edge into a private productivity dock for quick actions: notes, clipboard, calendar, focus timers, media controls, widgets, and writing tools. Works on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, including non-notch Macs via the top edge. Start with 72 hours of Pro, no account and no card. Private by design: your data stays on your Mac.
I built Aurora because small Mac tasks kept pulling me out of the app I was actually using. The goal is a calm native control surface around the notch and top edge: quick media controls, calendar checks, notes, focus timing, widgets, and writing actions without opening another full window. This launch is the first public website and direct download flow for Aurora.
