Your Mac notch is empty black space. This puts a pair of cute eyes there. They follow your cursor, blink, and look sleepy when you step away. Click them and you get the useful stuff: a focus timer, a clipboard, a shelf to hold files you are working on, music controls for Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, and a simple view of which apps you used.It stays in the notch. No extra window. The eyes are the fun part. The tools are why you might keep it.
I built the eyes first because the notch was annoying me and I wanted something that felt like company. They follow the cursor, one shows up a bit late, and they get drowsy if the mouse goes quiet.
People smile at that. I still do.I did not want a toy I would turn off after a week, so I hung the boring tools I already use on the same spot.
Focus mode when I need fewer distractions. Clipboard so I stop losing the thing I just copied. A small shelf for files I am not ready to file properly. Music controls that hit Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube without opening them. A light activity view so I can see where the afternoon went.None of that is new.
The difference is it sits where I was already looking, behind a face I do not mind seeing. Free build is on the page if you want to try the eyes and ignore the rest.
With so many products trying to capture the notch real estate on the Mac, what is your vision for Netra?
