The notch is an opportunity to turn that space into instantly accessible productivity tools. Perch is not the first of the app that tries it but I try to make it the most versatile. Perch evolved from a simple notch utility into a complete productivity hub, and adding Apple Intelligence with the Foundation Models Framework felt like the perfect fit: powerful AI chat that's completely private, unlimited, and accessible without ever leaving your workflow.
Unlimited and private beats cloud-based every time. How responsive is the LLM chat when running locally? Does it noticeably impact battery life? Congrats on the launch! 🚀
Love the Pomodoro timer and weather feature! The LLM still feels a bit limited for now, but I'm excited to see how it evolves.
I'm a sucker for these type of apps. I recently switched to @TheBoringNotch and it's working perfectly but I like how you added the weather and even some local LLM functionality. Going to give it a try!

Who hunted Perch?
Perch was hunted by Serkan Adıgüzel. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
