NotchPop

NotchPop converts the MacBook notch area into a dynamic island which provides users with vital tools and live data at the upper edge of their display. NotchPop converts the inactive notch into a central point which displays media controls and focus timers and clipboard history and file management and live updates from your preferred services.

A Home Screen for Your Whole Day

NotchPop combines your most important information into a single display which appears in the notch section of your device. Users can view their current media playback through artwork display and progress tracking while also monitoring their live revenue from Stripe and Polar and Dodo. The system tracks AI usage through Claude and Codex and Cursor and also displays Google Analytics visitor statistics and weather information and calendar events and reminder notifications. Users can view all their reminders and calendar events through this single view.

Focus That Never Covers Your Work

Start a 25-minute Pomodoro session, countdown, or stopwatch directly from the notch. The camera-based timer shows the remaining time while keeping your workspace visible so you can maintain concentration on your work and track time through your side vision.

Media Controls from Any App

Control playback from Spotify, Apple Music, or any browser tab without switching apps. The left side of the interface shows artwork while the right side displays a color-matched visualizer which provides users with complete control over play, pause, and skip functions at their fingertips.

Clipboard History and File Shelf

Access the last fifty things you copied, pin frequently used items, and search through your clipboard history with a click. The file shelf lets you drag anything to the notch and drop it wherever it needs to go, making file transfers effortless.

Live Developer Activity

Track local dev servers, monitor Claude and Codex tasks in real time, follow Cursor AI code generation, and keep an eye on Mac vitals like CPU and battery. Everything updates live, straight from the source.

Over 20 Native Extensions

Each extension is built like a full Mac app and lives inside NotchPop. Users can activate the tools they need while hiding the tools which they do not require. The system supports various extensions which include Spotify and Apple Music and Stripe Revenue and Claude Code and OpenAI Codex and iMessage Replies and Google Meet and Zoom Meetings and WhatsApp and xAI Grok and Google AdSense and Live Weather and Clipboard History and Polar.sh and LocalSend and additional options.

Privacy and Security

Screen displays show API keys which remain protected through Mac Keychain storage that prevents their exposure in basic configuration files. The system asks for access to Calendar and Contacts and Accessibility and Messages only when you activate features which require these permissions. All data remains on your Mac system.

Quiet Until It Matters

The notch stays black while you work. The system expands the item into the ears next to the camera when you need to focus on it but it returns to its original position after you finish to reduce potential distractions.

NotchPop serves developers and designers and creators and professionals who need fast access to their resources and data without creating screen mess or navigating through multiple applications. The software supports macOS 14 and all subsequent versions including systems which do not have a physical notch.
