NotchBuddy — Everyday Tools in Your Notch Turn your Mac’s notch into a practical toolbelt for focus, creativity, and development. Open from the menu bar or enable hover to open. Pick a tool. Keep your flow. CALENDAR Keep your schedule close at hand. See upcoming events in your notch and stay on top of what's next without switching apps. FOCUS Stay productive with a built-in Pomodoro timer, customizable routines, and task tracking. Follow your remaining time with a Live Activity in the closed notch. CLIPBOARD HISTORY Keep copied text, links, colors, code, and images within reach. Search your history, filter by content type, and reuse saved clips. Pause recording, exclude apps, or clear history whenever you choose. Optional daily or weekly cleanup deletes saved history and cached images. Automatic cleanup is off by default. MEDIA Control Apple Music and Spotify without switching apps. View artwork, track details, and playback controls, with a Live Activity in the closed notch. Companion extensions add browser media controls for Safari and Chrome. FILE SHELF Drop files, links, and text into your notch for easy access later. Preview items, drag them into other apps, or share through AirDrop and Quick Share. Organize your Shelf with tabs and keep saved items across relaunches. COLOR PICKER Sample colors from your screen, keep a color history, and copy values in formats for SwiftUI, Kotlin, CSS, and more. AI USAGE Follow supported AI tools, including Codex, Claude, and Antigravity. Check available usage limits, context consumption, and provider activity from the notch, widgets, or menu bar. DEVELOPER DASHBOARD Keep project information and development tools close at hand. Check Xcode projects, simulators, Git status, system performance, connected devices, storage tools, and developer links. LIVE ACTIVITIES See Focus sessions, now playing, AI usage, and Shelf activity without opening the notch.
