The idea was simple, your MacBook's notch is wasted space. I turned it into a productivity hub: music control, file tray, bookmarks, Pomodoro timer, all without leaving your current window. The AI Clipboard Manager came from my own frustration, I kept copying text, switching to ChatGPT to rephrase it, then switching back. A five-step process for something that should take one second. So I built rephrasing directly into the clipboard. That sparked Daily Brief AI for your calendar and AI Quick Notes, all running on-device via Apple Intelligence. No cloud, no subscriptions, your data stays on your Mac.

In practice, how does the AI Clipboard Manager behave in real workflows (e.g., rewriting, summarizing, pinning, searching): what’s the interaction model that makes it feel like a 1-second action, and what tradeoffs did you make versus a standalone clipboard manager or a chat-style AI assistant?

@curiouskitty Great question! The moment you copy text, NotchNest captures it automatically. Head to the notch, one click to rephrase or summarize, and your output is ready, with a retry option if you want a different result. Never leave your current window.

The key tradeoff: speed over configurability. No prompts, no chat interface, no context switching, just copy → click → done. That's the whole philosophy.
