You've been at your desk for six hours. Haven't had water since breakfast. Neck locked in one position, eyes dry from the screen. You didn't even notice until now. HealthyNotch lives quietly in your Mac's notch and nudges you before it gets that far: stand up, drink water, blink, stretch. No dock icon, no logging, no dashboards. One-time payment, lifetime access, no subscription.
I'm the solo dev behind HealthyNotch.
I built this because I spend most of my day heads-down in code, and I kept noticing the same pattern: six hours would pass, I'd realize I hadn't had water since breakfast, my neck locked in one position, eyes dry from staring at a screen. Every wellness app I tried wanted me to open it, log something, look at a chart. I stopped using all of them within a week.
So HealthyNotch just sits quietly in the notch and nudges you - a glance, not a task. There's a Balance Score that tracks your day, plus a little character whose mood shifts with you. Sounds silly, but it's surprisingly effective at getting you to actually act on a nudge instead of dismissing it.
Launching today with a lifetime price, no subscription, direct download, notarized by Apple.
Built this alone, so I'd genuinely love to hear what feels off or what's missing. Happy to answer anything!
