Notchy
Turns the MacBook notch into a hub for music and clips
Mac$24.99 once
The verdict
The black notch on a MacBook becomes a small hub with Notchy, which shows your music, runs timers, keeps a clipboard history and holds files you want to drop somewhere else. The same panel replaces the system volume and brightness pop-ups and tracks usage for AI coding tools. Macs without a notch get the panel as a floating pill at the top of the screen.
Get it if
You use a MacBook and want music, timers and clipboard history within reach at the top of the screen.
Skip it if
You only want music controls in the notch. Boring Notch does that for free.
What it helps you do
- Control music without opening the player
- Find something you copied earlier
- Keep a file handy while you move between apps
- Start a focus timer from the top of the screen
