Notchware
Music and AI agent alerts in your MacBook notch
That notch at the top of your MacBook does nothing. Notchware turns it into a live island: Now Playing with artwork and playback controls, plus battery, volume, brightness, Focus, and Wi-Fi status right where you look. Notchware Pro ($3.99 one-time) adds Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor alerts, so you know the moment an agent needs approval or finishes, without watching the terminal. Native SwiftUI. No account, no analytics, no cloud. macOS 14.6+.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I kept losing time to AI coding agents sitting idle, waiting for my approval in a terminal I wasn't looking at. Meanwhile, the notch on my MacBook was just… a black cutout.
So Notchware puts the things I glance at most right there:
• Now Playing with artwork and controls
• Battery, volume, brightness, Focus, and Wi-Fi changes
• With Pro: Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor alerts when an agent needs approval or finishes a task
A few choices I cared about:
• Everything runs locally. There's no account, analytics, or cloud. The agent alerts use small local hooks you can inspect before installing, and they never read your prompts or code.
• Every indicator can be turned off, and the island hides itself in fullscreen apps.
• Pro is a one-time $3.99, not a subscription.
It's not notarized by Apple yet, so macOS asks you to allow it once. There's a 1-minute install guide at ballmac.com/notchware/install.
I'd love to hear what you'd want in your notch next!
