A macOS app that transforms your MacBook's notch into a powerful command center. Hover over the notch to reveal a floating terminal panel with Claude Code, media controls, system monitoring, file shelf, and clipboard history — all in one place.
Fork of adamlyttleapps/notchy with additional features and improvements.
- Notch integration — hover over the MacBook notch to reveal the terminal panel, or click the menu bar icon
- Claude Code terminal — embedded terminal sessions that auto-detect open Xcode projects and launch Claude
- Now Playing — YouTube/Safari media controls with scrolling marquee text for long titles
- System monitor — CPU and RAM gauges shown on hover with live percentage values
- File Shelf — drag files onto the notch to store them temporarily; drag them back out wherever you need them
- Clipboard history — keeps track of recent clipboard entries
- Git checkpoints — Cmd+S to snapshot your project before Claude makes changes
- Multi-session tabs — run multiple Claude Code sessions side by side
- Auto-launch — starts automatically when you log in
- macOS 15.0+ (Sequoia)
- MacBook with a notch (menu bar still works without one)
