Better performance, smoother everyday use

NotchNook has moved on from the CPU spikes, lag and crashes reported in early versions. Those issues have been fixed. Open the panel, control your music, check a meeting or move a file with a smoother everyday experience.

CPU efficiency and battery use

Improved CPU efficiency means less unnecessary processor activity and less wasted energy. That matters on a MacBook: NotchNook is there to make your day easier, whether you are plugged in at your desk or working on battery.

Keep your music controls, notes, tasks and upcoming events within reach, without repeatedly switching between windows. Use the tools you need, then return to your work.

More useful, right at the top

Control playback and choose your music source. See upcoming calendar events, write and format notes, manage tasks and set timers. Drop files into the Tray and share them with AirDrop. Open the camera mirror before your next call.

NotchNook works on Intel and Apple silicon Macs running macOS 14.6 or later, including displays without a physical notch.
