Something lives up there now.
Your MacBook notch is dead space. Notchling puts a small creature in it that holds your files: drag one near and it opens its mouth, keeps it, and gives it back when you drag it out. Or switch to the weather. Right-click to swap.
Go on, feed it something. In the app you drag a real file at the notch.
The notch is the one part of your screen that is always visible. It may as well hold something you like.
Pick what lives up there
It holds your things in its mouth
Drag a file, a link, a line of text, or a screenshot straight off the floating thumbnail. The mouth opens, it swallows, and it hands everything back whenever you want it. Then right-click a held image and it will chew: to JPEG, to PNG, smaller, or read the words out of a screenshot for you. All on your own Mac. Those last few are Pro, and are what other notch apps charge ten to thirty dollars for.
A someone, not a something
It watches your cursor, blinks, and naps when you do. Drag it sideways to reach whatever fell behind it; it drifts home on its own.
It feels how your Mac feels
Plugged in, its cheeks flush warm. Battery low, it yawns. Camera on, it shuts its eyes. Caps Lock, offline, a stuffed disk. It notices, and never says a word.
Your sky, small Pro
A breathing sun, a cratered moon, rain that splashes on the lip, forked lightning. Right-click to switch, or to hide it down to a bare notch.
It holds your music Pro
The album art, the track, and prev / play / next, right under its face. Spotify and Apple Music, and YouTube Music, Spotify Web or SoundCloud in your browser too, which most notch apps cannot do without a private framework that breaks every macOS update. Scroll over the notch to scrub.
It watches your agents
Running Claude Code? An ember pulse while your agents work, and when one gets stuck waiting on you it glances down. Click, and you are in that terminal.
