Nocto turns your MacBook's notch into a small control center. Hover to see what's playing and skip songs. Ten minutes before a call it starts a countdown, and when the meeting begins the notch opens with a Join button (Zoom, Meet, Teams, Webex, FaceTime). Park files on the shelf, find anything you copied in clipboard history, and check your Mac and AirPods battery at a glance. Native, light, macOS 14+. One-time purchase, 7-day free trial. Music stays free forever.

Hey Product Hunt ๐
ย ย
I'm Yersultan, a solo developer from Kazakhstan. The notch is the one part of my MacBook I look at all day, and it did absolutely nothing. Meanwhile I kept joining calls late because the reminder was buried under a dozen windows.
ย ย
So I built Nocto. It turns the notch into a small control center:
ย ย
๐ Meetings: a countdown 10 min before each call, then the notch opens with a Join button (Zoom, Meet, Teams, Webex, FaceTime)
๐ต Music: see what's playing, swipe to skip, scroll to seek
๐ Shelf + clipboard: park files on the notch, and get back anything you copied (text, links, colors, screenshots)
๐ Battery and AirPods at a glance
ย ย
Fully native, light, macOS 14+. No subscription: one purchase covers 3 Macs, with a 7-day free trial. Music stays free forever.

What would you want your notch to show next? I'm building the next update from your answers.
@yersultanssย The meeting countdown with a Join button right in the notch is so smart, I'm always the one joining 2 minutes late ๐ Love that it's native and a one-time purchase. Congrats from a fellow maker launching today! ๐
@yersultanssย @erenasirogluย me tooo haha, even tho i have calendar notifications ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐
Congrats on the launch. Sleek design. Any plans to make it extendible and/or open source?
@pronskiyย Thanks a lot, glad the design landed! Open source isn't planned for now. Nocto is a one-time purchase, and that's what lets me keep working on it full-time without adding a subscription. Extensibility is something I'm thinking about, though. What would you want to plug into the notch? A specific app, a custom widget, Shortcuts? Real use cases will decide what I build first.
