I built NotchDodo because I kept thinking about one simple question:
Why should the Mac s notch just take up space?
So I built 14 small tools around it to make the notch part of my everyday workflow - quick access, useful utilities, and a little personality.
Dashboard the home page, with the other tools condensed into cells. Cannot be switched off.
Today your calendar, with a one-click Join for Zoom, Meet and Teams.
Tasks a local to-do list with a quick-add field.
Reminders your Apple Reminders, tickable from the notch.
Notes multiple notes that save as you type.
Pomodoro work, break, long break, quick timer, custom and a stopwatch.
AI Usage live tokens, cost, burn rate and the five-hour window for Claude Code and Codex.
Calculator maths, unit conversion and currency.
Music Now Playing for Apple Music and the Spotify desktop app.
Shelf drag files onto the notch, drag them out or AirDrop them. Browser downloads land here.
Screen Time where your day went, by app and by category.
System Analytics CPU, memory, storage, network, battery and free disk.
Mirror a camera check before a call.
Support & Feedback send a message without leaving the app.

@almas_malik Can users customize the tools and shortcuts based on their own workflow and preferences?
NotchDodo
@chandani_kumari5 Great question! Yes, quite a bit:
Turn any of the 14 tools on or off, so the panel only shows what you use
Pick which quick toggles appear (12 to choose from, like dark mode, keep awake, lock screen, hide desktop icons)
Set your own Pomodoro, break and timer lengths
Set your workday hours for the Day Progress bar
Adjust the hover delay, show or hide the tool dock, and switch to a glass look
Choose whether downloads land on the Shelf, and set your own Claude Code token budget
Hide it in full-screen apps, and keep it closed during video calls
The Launcher follows your Dock, so it always matches the apps you already use.
Custom keyboard shortcuts and rearranging the Dashboard aren't in yet. Both are on my list. Which would help your workflow more?
@almas_malik what made you to decide to build this specifically for the notch ?

@dipanshu_kushwaha5 Honestly, it started with annoyance 😄 My iPhone's Dynamic Island shows me what matters at a glance, and my MacBook had a black notch doing nothing, right at the top of the screen where I look all day.
Then I kept hitting my Claude Code limit mid-task with no warning. I wanted that number always visible but never in the way. The notch was the obvious spot: always there, never covering my work, one hover away.
Once the usage meter lived there, the timer, calendar and music followed.
