Nocto turns your MacBook's notch into a small control center. Hover to see what's playing and skip songs. Ten minutes before a call it starts a countdown, and when the meeting begins the notch opens with a Join button (Zoom, Meet, Teams, Webex, FaceTime). Park files on the shelf, find anything you copied in clipboard history, and check your Mac and AirPods battery at a glance. Native, light, macOS 14+. One-time purchase, 7-day free trial. Music stays free forever.
The notch is the one part of my MacBook I look at all day, and it did absolutely nothing. Meanwhile I kept joining calls late because the reminder was buried under a dozen windows.
So I built Nocto. It turns the notch into a small control center:
📅 Meetings: a countdown 10 min before each call, then the notch opens with a Join button (Zoom, Meet, Teams, Webex, FaceTime)
🎵 Music: see what's playing, swipe to skip, scroll to seek
📁 Shelf + clipboard: park files on the notch, and get back anything you copied (text, links, colors, screenshots)
🔋 Battery and AirPods at a glance
Fully native, light, macOS 14+. No subscription: one purchase covers 3 Macs, with a 7-day free trial. Music stays free forever.

What would you want your notch to show next? I'm building the next update from your answers.
The shelf plus clipboard combo is the part that grabbed me — I like that you can park a file on the notch and also pull back text, links, colors, and screenshots you copied. How do those two stay separate in practice? If I park something and then keep copying, does the parked item stay put, or does it get pushed out by newer clipboard items? And for back-to-back calls, does the Join button switch cleanly to the next meeting?
Congrats on the launch. Sleek design. Any plans to make it extendible and/or open source?

Who hunted Nocto?
Nocto was hunted by Yersultan Sabyrkhanov. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
