NotchBar turns the notch on your MacBook into a control center: music with live lyrics, a file shelf, battery alerts, system stats and a private clipboard, one hover away.
NEW IN 1.9.1
• A redesigned panel and six refreshed themes: Cyberpunk, Synthwave, Matrix, Ice Terminal, Blood Code and Modern.
• File Shelf now stays after you quit or restart, and adds Copy and AirDrop.
• Pin clipboard items so they stay at the top.
• Clipboard history skips passwords copied from password managers.
• Launch at login now works, and Settings is organised into tabs.
WHY NOTCHBAR
One-time purchase. No subscription, no paywalled features. Pay once, own everything.
No account required.
MUSIC & LYRICS
Full playback control for Spotify and Apple Music: album art with adaptive color, interactive scrubbing, and time-synced lyrics that scroll along right in the notch.
FILE SHELF
Park files on the notch while you work. Drag them in from anywhere, click to open, copy or AirDrop them, and drag them back out when you need them. NotchBar only keeps a reference, so nothing is copied or moved, and your shelf is still there after a restart.
BATTERY ALERTS
Plug in, unplug, reach full charge or run low, and the notch tells you for a few seconds, then gets out of the way. You choose the low-battery level.
LIVE SYSTEM STATS
CPU load, memory, network throughput and battery as live sparklines, read straight from your Mac. Plus one-tap or continuous ping to any host.
PRIVATE CLIPBOARD
Clipboard history sorted into links, code and text, encrypted in memory and never written to disk. Pin what you use most, filter by type and clear the rest. Passwords copied from password managers are never saved.
THEMES
Six themes: Cyberpunk, Synthwave, Matrix, Modern, Ice Terminal and Blood Code, with Solid, Glass and Ultra Glass transparency. Plus a custom notch label, Focus Mode and launch at login.
REQUIREMENTS
• A MacBook with a notch: MacBook Pro 14" or 16" (2021 or later) or MacBook Air (2022 or later)
• macOS 15 or later
PRIVACY
NotchBar is sandboxed and sold only on the Mac App Store. It has no analytics and no tracking. It only goes online for the ping you set up, Spotify album artwork, and lyrics lookups, which send just the track title, artist and length to LRCLIB. You can turn lyrics off in Settings. Clipboard history is encrypted in memory and never saved to disk.
