Kishi Notch turns your MacBook notch into an interactive island: reply to WhatsApp, Messages and Mail notifications, join your next meeting in one click, control music, run timers and see AirPods battery. Plus a detailed menu bar battery.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I'm Özhan, an indie developer from Turkey. The notch on my MacBook always felt like wasted space, and the things I actually wanted to see were hidden in menus: a message I'd answer later, a meeting starting in two minutes, how long the battery really has left.
So I built Kishi Notch, a small native Swift app that grows a soft, interactive island out of the notch:
• Messages drop into the notch: WhatsApp, Messages, Mail and Slack. Press Reply, type, hit Return; you never leave what you were doing.
• Your next meeting counts down, and Join opens Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex or FaceTime.
• Music, Spotify, and video in Safari or Chrome, with a vinyl-style player, a waveform and a source switcher.
• AirPods and other earbuds show left, right and case battery the moment they connect.
• Timer, stopwatch, volume and sound output, camera/mic in use, Focus, and a file shelf with AirDrop.
• A menu bar battery you can style, with health, cycle count, live power draw and time remaining.
No account, no analytics, no tracking. Everything stays on your Mac. macOS 14 or later, Apple silicon and Intel.
It's free for 7 days, then a one-time $19.99 license for 2 Macs, no subscription.
I'd love your feedback: what would you want to see in your notch next?
