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).

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.
