MacNotch turns your MacBook notch into a modular productivity hub. Weather, music, calendar, tasks, notes, Pomodoro timer, Bluetooth devices, system monitor, translation, app shortcuts, reminders, daily quotes and more, all at a glance, right where your eyes already go. Drag files onto the notch to AirDrop, zip, convert, or send to iCloud. Tune modules, dashboard slots, and layout in Settings so the notch stays as simple or as busy as you want.
Quick update: MacNotch v1.8.6.2 is out 🚀
Since the 1.8.3 post, a lot has shipped (window snap, collapsed notch sizing across displays, Dashboard polish, and more). 1.8.6 already brought Notifications, AI Coding with Claude Code, Bitbucket in Code hosting, and stronger Bluetooth. 1.8.6.2 is the follow-up that makes those features feel finished and day-to-day nicer. Here’s the short version:
AI Coding. Claude Code and Cursor Agent in one notch view: filter sessions, open richer detail, optional Hook stream for faster live updates from your own tooling. Dial it in under Settings → AI Coding.
Notifications. Cleaner list and detail, quicker replies, and one-tap actions on interactive alerts when they appear, so you spend less time in Notification Center.
Bluetooth. Smarter typing for more headphones and accessories, better handling when a device only shows up as an active Bluetooth link, and clearer trackpad vs mouse icons when the system gives enough signal.
Notch & General. Smoother expand, collapse, and multi-display behavior. New Collapsed Notch Size Scale if the collapsed strip ever crowds the menu bar, plus an option so choosing a module in the Settings sidebar can preview it in the notch. Path: Settings → General.
Everywhere else. Small but felt improvements in Calendar, Todo, Translation, the Clipboard shelf, and Window Snap, plus refreshed in-app help on the site so answers stay current.
Goal is the same as always: MacNotch stays out of your way until you need it, then gives you the right controls in the right place. If you’re on an older build, this is a good one to jump to.
does it change automatically ?
@boukar_sall Thank you for the question. If you mean Dashboard profiles, yes, they can change automatically. You can schedule them at specific times, or link them to your Mac’s Focus modes so they switch when your Focus changes (including when you change Focus from your iPhone, if that’s synced with your Mac).
If you meant something else in the app, tell me which part and I’ll clarify.
👋 Hi everyone,
New MacNotch release: external monitor support 🖥️
We just shipped an update with better support for external displays and for Macs without a built-in notch on the screen 🚀.
What to do: fully quit MacNotch, then open it again (or install the latest update the way you usually do).
If something looks wrong, reply here with your macOS version and whether you use one or more displays. 💬
Thanks,
Etienne
@eddiejaoude Thank you for the nice comment! I hope you'll enjoy using MacNotch. I’d love to hear your feedback, and there’s a dedicated feedback module right inside the app.
Looks great, but doesn't work on my external display. MacNotch is sitting anywhere on the screen.
