MacNotch

See what's playing with album art, animated music bars, and full playback controls - right from the notch. MacNotch works with Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and other browser players, so it doesn't matter where the sound is coming from. Switch tracks, scrub through a song, or just glance at the artwork without opening anything.

Keep events, reminders, and focus sessions in one place. MacNotch shows upcoming calendar events with countdown timers and detects active meetings so you always know what's next. There's a built-in Pomodoro timer with visual progress, a lightweight task list that syncs with macOS Reminders, and a quick-capture notes module - all without leaving your workflow.

Fill a customizable widget grid with weather, app launchers, and quick toggles for Dark Mode, True Tone, and Night Shift. Create profiles like Work, Personal, or Focus so your setup adapts to what you're doing. You can also keep an eye on CPU, RAM, and storage usage or translate text on the fly with OpenAI or a local Ollama instance.

See real-time battery levels for AirPods (left, right, and case), headphones, mice, keyboards, trackpads, and game controllers. MacNotch sends you a heads-up when any device runs low, so you're never caught off guard mid-call or mid-game.

Drag a file onto the notch to instantly AirDrop, zip, convert images, move or copy to a folder, or open with a specific app. No digging through Finder menus - just drop and go. It's the kind of shortcut that feels obvious once you have it.

When the notch is tucked away, it still shows live activities: now playing info, Pomodoro countdowns, upcoming events, and Bluetooth status. Volume and brightness changes pop up as a system HUD right in the notch. The info you care about is always there, never in the way.
