NotchMate: Makes your Notch more fun, interactive and useful.

Hey, I'm Bora. I'm a solo developer and for the last few months most of my evenings went into this app. When I got a MacBook, I kept looking for something that would make the notch fun. I found a few apps that turn it into a widget bar, and they're fine, but none of them felt alive or different. I wanted something with a bit of personality. Couldn't find it, so I built it. NotchMate puts a small furry monster called Notchy in your notch. He peeks out, waves when you unlock your Mac, puts on glasses when you start a focus timer, and stays quiet when you're busy. Hover or click the notch and it opens into a panel with the stuff I actually use every day: -Music - Spotify and Apple Music with album art, a live spectrum and real controls -Zen - full-screen synced lyrics (karaoke style) or ambient visuals while a song plays -Weather, today's calendar and a Pomodoro timer -Clipboard history - your screenshots land there automatically -File shelf - drop a file on the notch, drag it out later or AirDrop it -Window snap - halves, quarters, thirds -Mirror - quick camera check before a call -Lid fold - close the lid and the desktop folds with it (optional and a bit silly, I love it) You can change Notchy's color and the fur around the panel or turn the fur off completely. If he gets too chatty there's a no-distraction mode. It runs on macOS 14+, works on Macs without a notch too (it draws one), and I added 9 languages. It only asks for a permission when you turn on the feature that needs it. $14.99 lifetime or $3.99/month, with a 14-day refund if it's not for you. This is my first real launch, so honest feedback means a lot. Especially the stuff that annoys you.
