MacNotch turns your MacBook notch into a modular productivity hub: weather, media, calendar, tasks, notes, Pomodoro, notifications, Bluetooth, system stats, translation, shortcuts, reminders, quotes, Screen Time, AI Coding for Claude Code (beta), and GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket PRs; all at a glance where you already look. Drag files onto the notch to AirDrop, zip, convert, or send to iCloud. Native Swift, lightweight, and built for macOS.
Honestly? I just wanted the notch to earn its keep. MacNotch has grown into this big toolbox of things I hope you’ll actually use. I spent ages on the “does this feel native?” question, like it belongs on the Mac, not like a hack. Hope I’m in the ballpark. I’m not done: new releases are coming to make it smoother and more capable. And I’m genuinely open to input, so if you’ve got a wish list or a “this drives me nuts,” send it my way.
When someone is choosing between MacNotch and apps like NotchNook or NotchHub, what are the 2–3 concrete differences that matter in daily use (performance model, customization depth, modules, pricing), and who is each product “for” in your view?
This looks really great and very creative! I love that it’s one time purchase software and not subscription.
It would be useful if there were screenshots or if on the video on your homepage, you showed what it looks like when there are apps running because I’m not clear if this overlays apps or if it actually takes up some of the top screen space.
And something showing it minimizing/hiding and only showing the notch or something similar would be great. As it stands right now, it seems I have to install this to actually understand how it fully works, which isn’t something customer should have to do. Great job though this looks really cool!
This looks super interesting! I run out of space in my toolbar so this would be useful and cool
That's an interesting idea, but in my case, I already don't have enough space on my MacBook for all the icons I'd like to have in the top bar, and an app like that would take up even more space... the screenshots show only a few items from the app menu - what happens if there are more?
I wish if we could have something similar for the windows too, I do use the Power toys but it is not as cool as this one, is this supported for ipads too?
