Notchcode

Claude Code + Codex agents in your notch

Notchcode launched on June 15, 2026 with 89 votes, #460 of 22,647 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches.

What it does

Notchcode turns your MacBook notch (and a top-center pill on Windows) into an ambient monitor for your AI coding agents. Run multiple Claude Code and Codex sessions at once and stop losing track of them. The notch glows when an agent needs your input, and one tap focuses the right terminal. Notchcode also monitors weekly agent usage. Everything runs locally: no telemetry, no network calls beyond loopback. Free and open source (MIT). Mac + Windows.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). 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!
