Hey everyone 👋 I'm Oncel, I designed and built NotchPad over a weekend.
Two things bugged me for a long time. Every notes app on Mac needs its own window and an alt+tab to get to and the MacBook Pro notch just sits there doing nothing.
So I put a notes app inside it. It also does clipboard history and code snippets with syntax highlighting. Everything is encrypted and stays on your machine, nothing touches a server.
I'm an experienced multi-disciplinary designer and solo indie dev so I'd love to hear what you think. Feedback, feature requests, roast it, whatever. Happy to answer any questions.
I've got to say, I love the creativity. When I get a macbook again i'll hopefully remember it but bookmarked for now.
How are you thinking about app exclusions and auto-expiry for NotchPad's clipboard history, especially around password managers and one time codes? That part decides whether a local, encrypted utility feels safe enough to leave running all day.
Congrats on launch 🚀 Curious how you’re managing internal workflows as traction picks up?
