Notchy is the free, native macOS notch app that turns your MacBook notch into a fluid Dynamic Island — music, timers, clipboard, file drops, cluely, HUDs.
I know there are a lot of apps in the market for converting your boring notch to a dynamic island like an iPhone but there is not one app that does everything and none of them is free :(
So that was my motivation to build an mac app which I call Notchy which is completely free, never ever I'm going to monetize it.
Donations on Ko-Fi is appreciated for the development costs.
This app can show amazing music amplifiers using notch, pomodoro timers, clipboard history, file drops, cuely (TelePromptor), bluetooth and battery notifications.

This looks surprisingly polished for a free tool. Wishing you a successful launch day and lots of happy Mac users!
Hi Vishva! four things fighting for the same tiny strip! when a timer's running and you copy something and a download finishes all at once, what wins the notch? hard priority order, most-recent, or does it stack and rotate? congrats on your launch, good luck!
how you're handling the performance side. notch apps that run constantly have a bad reputation for quietly draining battery on MacBooks, especially on M-series chips where people are very sensitive to anything that tanks their all-day runtime. have you done any benchmarking on idle CPU and battery impact because that's usually the reason people uninstall these after a week regardless of how useful the features are
That looks really good.
I think you should let users add their own tabs.
Another suggestion is to add any LLM tab
Does Notchy have any battery or performance impact when it’s running all day?
