## About

Drop Notch brings Claude Code, Codex and 14 more coding-agent CLIs into a panel at the top of your Mac. Watch live Read, Edit and Bash tool calls, approve or deny changes, follow sessions started in Terminal, and send replies without switching windows.

Built in Swift with no Electron or hidden browser, it works on Macs with or without a physical notch, including external displays. Drag in folders or files, review token usage and costs by day, model and project, and keep your code on your Mac while each agent connects through its own provider settings.
