I spent months making the MacBook notch useful. Here’s NotchOS 👋

Meet NotchOS 👋

Your MacBook notch, with a little more to do.

I built NotchOS to turn the notch into a live space that expands when there’s something to show—and gets out of your way when there isn’t.

🎵 Now Playing
Hover for music controls.

⏱ Timers + Pomodoro
Focus sounds and binaural beats included.

🎧 AirPods battery
See the charge when your AirPods connect.

📂 File tray + AirDrop
Drag files to the notch to keep them handy and share them.

💡 New: Screen-edge light
A soft glow for video calls, with HDR support on XDR displays.

One system. Not a pile of widgets.

Like Dynamic Island, NotchOS decides what to show when several things happen at once.

Native Swift · 5 MB download · Idle when you’re not using it · Self-updating

I’m building NotchOS solo and shaping it around what people ask for.

What should the notch do next?
