The notch,
alive.

Living Notch turns your MacBook's notch into a Dynamic Island–style hub — widgets, media, timers, and search appear when you need them and vanish when you don't.

Hover. Expand. Done.

Everything lives one hover away

🌗

Hover to Reveal

The panel that vanishes into your hardware.

  • ✓ Expands on hover, collapses invisibly
  • ✓ Auto-expands for media & timers
  • ✓ Notification mirroring with app icons
  • ✓ Hand-drawn CoreGraphics, native feel
🔎

Search HUD

A Spotlight-style search under the notch.

  • ✓ Apps, files & full-text results
  • ✓ Inline calculator
  • ✓ Recents and web-search fallback
  • ✓ ⌘↩ to reveal straight in Finder

Crafted for the Mac

Pure Swift, no Electron, obsessive detail

✨

Native Feel

A borderless panel drawn with CoreGraphics — buttery hover expansion that collapses invisibly back into the hardware notch.

🎨

5 Transitions

Slide, Flip, Cube, Zoom, and Drift — applied directionally along your gesture axis, so widgets move the way your fingers do.

🤖

AUTO Widgets

Screenshot, Clipboard, Notifications, and Live Activity widgets appear only when they have content — never clutter, always useful.

🔋

Battery Aware

Adaptive polling scales with your battery level, so the notch stays lively without costing your afternoon.

🛠️

Yours to Shape

Reorder widgets, choose transition styles, size the panel, pick world-clock cities, and pin your favorite app.

🍎

Pure macOS

Swift + AppKit, menu-bar only, no Dock icon, no Electron. Built the way a Mac utility should be built.
