Turn your MacBook notch into a modular dashboard

MacNotch turns your MacBook notch into a modular dashboard. 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. Lightweight, native Swift, and designed to feel like it belongs on macOS.
Honestly? I just wanted the notch to earn its keep. MacNotch has grown into this big toolbox of things I hope you’ll actually use. I spent ages on the “does this feel native?” question, like it belongs on the Mac, not like a hack. Hope I’m in the ballpark. I’m not done: new releases are coming to make it smoother and more capable. And I’m genuinely open to input, so if you’ve got a wish list or a “this drives me nuts,” send it my way.

That's an interesting idea, but in my case, I already don't have enough space on my MacBook for all the icons I'd like to have in the top bar, and an app like that would take up even more space... the screenshots show only a few items from the app menu - what happens if there are more?
@szymon_kadzielawa Thanks for your comment Szymon. That is a great question and totally fair point.
When retracted, MacNotch takes exactly the same amount of space as your Mac’s notch.
If you already have many menu bar icons, some can sit under that notch area, but only while you interact with MacNotch.
The rest of the time, it stays compact and doesn’t permanently compete with your top bar space.
If you’re not already using one, I can also recommend a few good top bar app hiders, they do a great job at managing your top bar space.
You can also try MacNotch with the 14-day trial, and if it doesn’t fit your needs, I’m always open to suggestions.
I wish if we could have something similar for the windows too, I do use the Power toys but it is not as cool as this one, is this supported for ipads too?
@nayan_surya98 Thanks for your comment, Nayan, I really appreciate it. For now it’s Mac-only (no Windows or iPad support yet). I’m putting all my energy into making the macOS experience great first, then I’ll see where it can go next. Honestly, I’m not even sure it would feel natural on Windows 😅
