Timers, music, calendar, clipboard and stats live in separate menu bar apps, and coding agents pull you out of flow. Arrowslit puts them in one notch panel for Mac users and developers, with AI agent approvals and local usage. Free, open source, no account.

Hey 👋 I'm Jay, the founder — here's the story behind Arrowslit and what I'd try first.
I built it because the notch was dead space while everything I checked all day lived in different menu bar apps. At the same time I was running Claude Code and Codex, and every approval or token check meant switching windows and losing my place.
The name is an arrowslit — a narrow opening in a castle wall. That felt right for the notch.
So Arrowslit is one panel that opens when you hover the top edge and closes when you move away: timer, media, calendar, clipboard, files, system stats, and AI agent approvals with Allow / Deny / Ask plus local token and plan usage.
It's free, GPL-3.0 open source, native Swift, no account and no telemetry. It works on Macs without a notch too.
Try this first: hover the top centre, start Focus 25m, then run a coding agent and approve its next command from the notch.
Tell me what feels slow or missing — I'll be in the comments.
