Read the full description
Notchwake turns your Mac's notch into an island. Hover it and it opens: what's playing, your next meeting, a tray you can drop files on, a timer, shortcuts, and your Claude Code sessions, where you can allow or deny a command without leaving what you're doing. No account, no telemetry, nothing sent to a server of mine. Native SwiftUI, light on battery, works on Macs without a notch too. 7 days free, then $12.99 lifetime or $1.99/month.
