NotchBuddy

NotchBuddy turns the MacBook notch into a small workspace. Hover over it for 19 tools: a Pomodoro timer, clipboard history, a file shelf with AirDrop, music controls for Spotify and Apple Music, spoken reminders, sticky notes, calendar, system stats and more.

If you sell software, the Revenue tool shows every sale from Stripe, RevenueCat, Polar, Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Gumroad, Dodo Payments and App Store Connect in the notch with a cha-ching, using a read-only key kept in your Mac's Keychain.

Five animated pets live in the notch, nap when you step away and jump when you get paid. Works on Macs without a notch as a small pill. macOS 14+, Apple silicon and Intel, signed and notarized. $20 once, no subscription, 14-day refund.
