Description
That notch at the top of your MacBook does nothing. Notchware turns it into a live island: Now Playing with artwork and playback controls, plus battery, volume, brightness, Focus, and Wi-Fi status right where you look. Notchware Pro ($3.99 one-time) adds Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor alerts, so you know the moment an agent needs approval or finishes, without watching the terminal. Native SwiftUI. No account, no analytics, no cloud. macOS 14.6+.
