I built an app called FocusNotch – a simple Mac app that transforms your notch into a focus tool to boost your productivity
After working as an iOS developer for a couple of years, I wanted to release one of my own projects. I initially built FocusNotch for myself because I was getting so frustrated by getting distracted by YouTube and Twitter when I should have been working or studying. I wanted an easy solution for blocking distracting websites and tracking my sessions when I wanted to dive into a few hours of deep work or study.
FocusNotch lives in the notch of your MacBook so it can be easily accessed no matter what you're working on, transforming the notch into a simple tool to help you focus. With the click of a button, you can start a focus session and block any websites you find distracting, while having the timer countdown always visible on your screen from the notch—just like the Dynamic Island on your iPhone.

I’d love to know what you think—good, bad, or any ideas for features that I can look to add in future. I built this for people who just want a simple way to focus without the distractions.
Thanks for reading and I hope you check it out!
FocusNotch repurposing the MacBook notch? 💻✨ Clever hack! Must be using private APIs to overlay UI elements into the menubar's dead zone. Wonder if it supports dynamic content (like pomodoro timers or focus metrics) or just static customization. Potential win for productivity nerds, though macOS updates might break this functionality.
This Mac application sounds like the perfect tool to enhance productivity! With its simple interface and user-friendly features, it helps you stay focused and organized throughout your day. I’m excited to see how it helps users streamline their tasks and work more efficiently with ease!
