What it does
Crest is a Mac notch app that turns your MacBook's notch into a hub: Now Playing, a dashboard, system stats, calendar, tasks, translation and more. Free, Pro $19.99.
Every Get and Try button on this page opens a card checkout that runs in your browser, and there is no version of it that works with JavaScript switched off. So the buttons are not simply dead: email us, say which app you want, and you get a payment link back, then the download once it clears. The address is [email protected]. A trial download needs JavaScript for the same reason, because it goes through an account, and that address will sort one out too. The real panel, redrawn live in your browser. Hover to hold it, click a mode. Crest turns the notch into a live panel for the things you check all day: what's playing, what's next, what your Mac is doing, and the agent that is waiting…from crestnotch.app

Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
