What it does

Notchzy brings a Dynamic Island to your Windows PC: a small live pill at the top of your screen for music controls, a focus timer, notifications, charging status, clipboard history and a file tray.

A live island for your desktop. Music, timers and notifications open out of one small pill at the top of your screen, then tuck away when you're done. Your PC never had a notch. Now it has something better: a small, live island that shows what's playing, what's next and what just arrived. Notchzy sits right where a notch would be. It stays small until something needs you. Three moves are all it takes. No settings to dig through, no windows to juggle. Point at the island and it opens up to show what's playing, or the time and date. Pause or skip a song, or start and stop a focus timer, right in the island. Move away and it shrinks back into a pill. Your windows stay exactly where they were.…from notchzy.com
