ApexNotch
Turn your MacBook notch into a native productivity hub
ApexNotch transforms your MacBook notch into a sleek Dynamic Island command center. β’ πΎ Notch Mascot Pets: Playful companions adaptive to CPU speed β’ ποΈ File Shelf: Seamless drag-and-drop staging zone β’ π΅ Music Visualizer: Apple Music & Spotify controls with waveforms β’ π Smart Clipboard: Auto secret & API key redaction β’ π 11 Productivity Widgets: Pomodoro, System stats, Notes & more 100% Free & Open Source, zero telemetry, pure Swift 6 and AppKit.
Modern MacBooks have had the camera notch for years, but it's mostly just wasted black screen space. I wanted to build something that transforms the notch into a true native Dynamic Island productivity command center β without bloated Electron webviews or battery drain.
What makes ApexNotch different:
β’ Notch Mascot Pets: Pick a companion (Cat, Dog, Fox, Otter, Rabbit) that runs along your notch at a speed reactive in real-time to your laptop's CPU performance. β’ Quick File Shelf: Drag & drop files straight to the notch to hold them between workspaces and drop them anywhere. β’ Dynamic Music Visualizer: Real-time bouncing waveforms & album art for Apple Music and Spotify. β’ Smart Clipboard: Auto-detects and redacts sensitive API keys and tokens (OpenAI, GitHub, AWS). β’ 11-in-1 Dashboard: Pomodoro timer, CPU/Memory/Network sparklines, World Clocks, and Quick Notes.
Pure Native Architecture: Built with 100% pure Swift 6 & SwiftUI. It sits at only ~3.5 MB, runs at less than 0.5% idle CPU, and has zero external cloud tracking or telemetry.
