Hey everyone I made Crest because my MacBook's notch always bugged me. It's just a black bar for the camera that sits there doing nothing all day, so I figured I'd make it actually useful. It drops down from the notch and gives you things at a glance: what's playing (with lyrics), a little dashboard, a spot to drop files, your clipboard history, calendar, system stats, and a bunch more. Four of those are free, and if you want the rest it's a one-time $19.99. No subscription. It started as a side project for myself. I'd tried other notch apps but they kept killing my battery or freezing after my Mac slept overnight, which drove me nuts, so I put a lot of effort into keeping Crest quiet on battery and making it wake up properly. It's also notarized by Apple, so none of those "unknown developer" warnings, and nothing it does leaves your Mac. It's free to try at https://crestnotch.app. I'd really love to hear what you think, or what you'd want it to do that it doesn't yet. I'll be around all day answering. Thanks for checking it out
