👋 Making the Notch Useful! (My story behind LinkNotch)
Hey Product Hunt community! 😻
I’m, the maker of LinkNotch.
Like many of you, I spend my entire day in a browser. I realized I was wasting moments every single day just trying to get to my most visited URLs. My bookmarks bar was overflowing.
So I built LinkNotch. It’s a native macOS utility that turns that empty space into a productivity shortcut.
✨ What makes it special?
Hyperfast: It’s built to be lightweight. No lag, no waiting.
Intuitive: You can set it to open on Hover (for speed) or Click (for precision).
Focusfriendly: You can separated links, for example, into 'Work' and 'General' categories because context switching is the enemy of productivity.
🙏 I’d love your feedback on:
I’ll be hanging out in the comments all day to answer your questions. Thanks for checking it out and helping us trend! 🚀
Notch real estate is underutilized. we're taking a different approach with wearables for quick access
reclaiming the dead zone around the notch is a brilliant way to declutter the actual Dock. is the hover sensitivity customizable to prevent accidental triggers when I'm just aiming for the top menu bar items?
