## About

NotchDude brings everyday tools to the top of your Mac. Its notch interface combines music controls, clipboard history, a file shelf, screenshots, calendar events, quick notes, Focus sprints, and Keep Mac Awake in one place. It also works on Macs without a physical notch through a floating island.

The free version includes core music, focus, calendar, notes, clipboard, and file-shelf tools. A 48-hour Pro trial adds Claude Code and Codex usage limits, screenshot editing, expanded clipboard and file storage, messaging notifications, a teleprompter, camera mirror, bookmarks, and more. NotchDude requires macOS 14 or later and Apple silicon.
