What it does
That notch at the top of your MacBook does nothing. Notchware turns it into a live island: Now Playing with artwork and playback controls, plus battery, volume, brightness, Focus, and Wi-Fi status right where you look. Notchware Pro ($3.99 one-time) adds Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor alerts, so you know the moment an agent needs approval or finishes, without watching the terminal. Native SwiftUI. No account, no analytics, no cloud. macOS 14.6+.
Turn your MacBook notch into a live island for Now Playing, battery, and status, plus Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor alerts. macOS 14.6+.
A native macOS app that turns the MacBook notch into a live island for Now Playing, battery, volume, brightness, Focus, and network status, with Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor alerts in Pro. Notchware turns the space around the notch into a live island that shows what's happening and gets out of the way. Artwork, a live equalizer, and playback controls for Spotify, Apple Music, and other media sources. Charging and low-battery status, with a threshold you choose. Know when Wi-Fi or Personal Hotspot connects and when internet access returns. Stop checking the terminal. Notchware Pro tells you the moment an agent needs you, and brings your music to the Lock Screen. Illustration. You review…from ballmac.com
