👋 Making the Notch Useful! (My story behind LinkNotch) Hey Product Hunt community! 😻 I’m, the maker of LinkNotch. Like many of you, I spend my entire day in a browser. I realized I was wasting moments every single day just trying to get to my most visited URLs. My bookmarks bar was overflowing. So I built LinkNotch. It’s a native macOS utility that turns that empty space into a productivity shortcut. ✨ What makes it special? Hyperfast: It’s built to be lightweight. No lag, no waiting. Intuitive: You can set it to open on Hover (for speed) or Click (for precision). Focusfriendly: You can separated links, for example, into 'Work' and 'General' categories because context switching is the enemy of productivity. 🙏 I’d love your feedback on: I’ll be hanging out in the comments all day to answer your questions. Thanks for checking it out and helping us trend! 🚀

@jo_origami Hi Jo, congrats on the launch. I'm going to be contrarian and try to offer some minor constructive feedback; I don't really get what your tool does. I see the story and the cool points (hyperfast) but ok I spend my time in browser and then it helps me to......what? I still upvoted tho :)

@zolani_matebese Hi, thanks for the honest feedback! Let me clarify.

LinkNotch lets you open your most-used links instantly from anywhere, no matter what app you're in.
It saves you the time and friction of switching to a browser, navigating bookmarks, or typing URLs.

That's it for now, nothing more, nothing less.

I know it needs to evolve to tackle precise pain points.

This app came purely from my own frustration. I open Facebook Ads Manager and App Store Connect dozens of times a day. When I'm deep in Xcode or Figma, I wanted to cut down that constant context-switching time. LinkNotch scratches that itch. :) Thanks for the upvote!

@jo_origami Love the idea reclaiming micro-moments in the browser is underrated. Quick question: when someone installs LinkNotch, what’s the one habit change you want it to create in the first few days?

@revenue_ops Hi, thank you so much for the thoughtful question!

To be honest, the problem I wanted to solve was quite simple: help people instantly open their frequently visited links.

As for the habit I hope it creates? I'd love for users to register their go-to sites, email, dashboards, analytics into LinkNotch. Then, whenever they need to check them, simply move the cursor to the notch.

Better to make crossplatform

@heyromix

Thank you for the suggestion!

I'm actually considering bringing quick link access to iPhone's Dynamic Island as well.

Would that be something you'd be interested in?

Notch real estate is underutilized. we're taking a different approach with wearables for quick access

@luka_liparteliani I'd love to see what you're building.

Are you planning to launch it on Product Hunt?

Luka Liparteliani

@jo_origami Yes I've actually already launched the v1. It's called Hollow
