From the sources
NotchPop turns your Mac's notch into a Dynamic Island for music, files, clipboard, calendar and focus. Works on Macs without a notch too. 7-day free trial, then $3.99 once.
Media controls, a drop shelf, clipboard history, focus timers and live revenue, all in the black bar at the top of your screen. Click the notch, switch tools, start a focus timer, drag a file onto it or send it an alert. It behaves the way NotchPop does on your Mac. Real recordings from NotchPop on a MacBook. No mockups, no renders. Start a 25 minute session from the notch. The countdown stays on the top edge, so the thing you’re actually doing keeps the screen. Spotify, Apple Music, a YouTube tab. Play, pause, skip and see artwork without leaving what you’re in. Pin the ones you keep reaching for. Search the rest, and copy any of them back with a click. Drag anything to the notch, then…from notchpop.com
