NotchIsland
Turn your MacBook's notch into a smart productivity hub
NotchIsland transforms your MacBook's notch into a live dashboard. Music, weather, timers, clipboard, drag-and-drop shelf, and more — in one shallow band that never covers your work. $6.99 one-time, no subscription.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built NotchIsland because every time I looked at my MacBook's notch, I thought — that's prime screen real estate just sitting there doing nothing.
So I turned it into something useful.
NotchIsland lives in your notch and gives you quick access to things you actually care about — media controls, system stats, calendar events, AI usage tracking — without opening a single app or cluttering your menu bar.
A few things I'm proud of:
- It feels native. Smooth animations, dark theme, fits right into macOS.
- It's actually useful. Not a gimmick — I use it every day while coding.
- Built solo. Designed, coded, and shipped by one person over weekends.
This started as a scratch-my-own-itch project and turned into something I couldn't stop using. I hope you feel the same way.
I'd love to hear what widgets or features you'd want in your notch — drop them below. Every suggestion shapes what comes next.
Thanks for checking it out! 🚀
