What it does
Nocto turns your MacBook's notch into a small control center. Hover to see what's playing and skip songs. Ten minutes before a call it starts a countdown, and when the meeting begins the notch opens with a Join button (Zoom, Meet, Teams, Webex, FaceTime). Park files on the shelf, find anything you copied in clipboard history, and check your Mac and AirPods battery at a glance. Native, light, macOS 14+. One-time purchase, 7-day free trial. Music stays free forever.

Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube or a player in your browser. Artwork, controls and a scrubber the moment you point at the notch. Swipe sideways to change songs. Today's meetings in their calendar colours. Ten minutes out, a countdown sits beside the notch. When it starts, the notch opens on its own with a Join button. Drag files, images or links to the notch. Switch apps, drag them back out. Drop on AirDrop to send them to your iPhone. Copy a hex and see the colour. Copy a screenshot and see the picture. Copy a link and see the…from getnocto.app
