NotchX turns your MacBook's camera notch into a live hub: what's playing, messages from Slack, Teams and Messages, calls you can answer or decline, your next meeting and the weather. Everything stays on your Mac. 14-day free trial, then $9.99 once.

Hi Product Hunt! I'm Quan, the maker of NotchX.

The camera notch is the one part of my MacBook I look at all day, and it did nothing. So I built NotchX: it turns the notch into a tiny live hub that stays the size of the notch.

Music: what's playing in Apple Music or Spotify, with 5 looks and 35 visualizers
Messages from Messages, Slack and Teams, shown beside the camera
Calls: answer or decline, with mic and camera switches once you're on the call (even Slack huddles)
Your next meeting with a one-click Join
Volume and brightness as a slim line instead of the big pop-up, AirPods, and the weather

Privacy was the hard rule: everything is read and shown on your Mac. No account, no analytics, no message history. It's signed and notarized by Apple.

It's free for 14 days, then $9.99 once, no subscription.

I'd love to hear what you'd want the notch to show next!

The one-click Join for the next meeting is what stood out to me — that's the notch interaction that saves real time, not just looks nice. How does it handle back-to-back meetings, does it surface the next one as soon as the current call ends? Also curious whether the Slack and Teams messages show the sender, or just a preview.

Answering or declining a call from the notch without hunting for the window is the small thing I would use ten times a day, and having Slack and Teams messages land there too means one less tab to keep open.
