Notchly

Turn your Mac's notch into a productivity hub

Notchly launched on April 14, 2026.

What it does

Notchly transforms the MacBook notch from dead space into a productivity powerhouse. Hover to reveal 13 built-in modules: music controls for Spotify & Apple Music, clipboard history, focus timer (Pomodoro), file shelf, screen recorder, smart calendar, quick todos, bookmarks, command shortcuts, session manager, teleprompter, and custom widgets. One DMG. Free to start. $15 one-time for Pro — no subscription, ever. Works on macOS 14+ across MacBook Pro and Air.

Turn the MacBook notch into a smart hub — music controls, clipboard manager, focus timer, file shelf, calendar & more. One app, zero clutter.

Notchly turns the notch into a Dynamic Island-style hub : live activities for music, calendar and AirPods, a clipboard Tray for everything you copy, focus sessions and more. Nothing leaves your Mac. Music, calendar, the Tray, timers, meetings: one island becomes whatever matters, then gets out of the way. The notch isn’t a flaw to hide: it’s prime real estate. Notchly keeps everything local — your clips, your calendar, your timers — with no account and nothing sent anywhere. Built for the hardware: chip and card geometry measured on real Macs, springs tuned to feel native , down to the point. From now-playing to agent monitoring, everything ships inside one small native app. No…from notchly.vercel.app

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
