👋 Making the Notch Useful! (My story behind LinkNotch) Hey Product Hunt community! 😻 I’m, the maker of LinkNotch. Like many of you, I spend my entire day in a browser. I realized I was wasting moments every single day just trying to get to my most visited URLs. My bookmarks bar was overflowing. So I built LinkNotch. It’s a native macOS utility that turns that empty space into a productivity shortcut. ✨ What makes it special? Hyperfast: It’s built to be lightweight. No lag, no waiting. Intuitive: You can set it to open on Hover (for speed) or Click (for precision). Focusfriendly: You can separated links, for example, into 'Work' and 'General' categories because context switching is the enemy of productivity. 🙏 I’d love your feedback on: I’ll be hanging out in the comments all day to answer your questions. Thanks for checking it out and helping us trend! 🚀

@jo_origami Hi Jo, congrats on the launch. I'm going to be contrarian and try to offer some minor constructive feedback; I don't really get what your tool does. I see the story and the cool points (hyperfast) but ok I spend my time in browser and then it helps me to......what? I still upvoted tho :)

@zolani_matebese Hi, thanks for the honest feedback! Let me clarify.

LinkNotch lets you open your most-used links instantly from anywhere, no matter what app you're in.
It saves you the time and friction of switching to a browser, navigating bookmarks, or typing URLs.

That's it for now, nothing more, nothing less.

I know it needs to evolve to tackle precise pain points.

This app came purely from my own frustration. I open Facebook Ads Manager and App Store Connect dozens of times a day. When I'm deep in Xcode or Figma, I wanted to cut down that constant context-switching time. LinkNotch scratches that itch. :) Thanks for the upvote!

@jo_origami Love the idea reclaiming micro-moments in the browser is underrated. Quick question: when someone installs LinkNotch, what’s the one habit change you want it to create in the first few days?

@revenue_ops Hi, thank you so much for the thoughtful question!

To be honest, the problem I wanted to solve was quite simple: help people instantly open their frequently visited links.

As for the habit I hope it creates? I'd love for users to register their go-to sites, email, dashboards, analytics into LinkNotch. Then, whenever they need to check them, simply move the cursor to the notch.

reclaiming the dead zone around the notch is a brilliant way to declutter the actual Dock. is the hover sensitivity customizable to prevent accidental triggers when I'm just aiming for the top menu bar items?
