Description
Hopnotch lines your Mission Control Spaces up either side of the MacBook notch, even over fullscreen apps, so you always know where your windows live. Click or tap a key to hop, hover to peek, hold to see every Space at once, and name a Space to find it in Spotlight. Badges show which Space has your mic, camera or sound on. Colour-code Spaces, pick from 51 themes, drive it from Shortcuts or Raycast. 0% CPU at rest, no Accessibility permissions. Free for 3 days, then $14.99 once, or $2.99/month.

Could you build this?
Partial macOS does not provide public APIs to inspect, control, or place UI overlays over native Mission Control Spaces around the notch.
What it would actually take: Requires native Swift/Objective-C development using private CGS (CoreGraphics Server) and SkyLight framework APIs (similar to yabai or AeroSpace) to track and manipulate Mission Control spaces. The app needs high-level macOS accessibility permissions and window server injection techniques that are notoriously brittle and break with macOS updates.
