## About

Toolnotch turns the MacBook notch into a set of small tools that show up when you need them. One app instead of five menu bar icons.

- Live island (new in the 2.0 beta): music, timers, headphones and keep-awake live in the notch, and a hover opens the full card.
- Claude Code and Codex alerts: the notch tells you when your agent is done or needs an answer, and a click takes you to its terminal tab.
- AI usage limits: your Claude and Codex limits at a glance, before you hit them.
- Pasteback: clipboard history that also searches the text inside your screenshots, and pastes several items in a row.
- Wyndow: windows go back where they were when you plug a display back in.
- Bodybreak: eye and stretch breaks that wait during calls, recordings, videos and fullscreen games.
- Staywake: keeps the Mac awake for long jobs and running commands.

Made by one developer in France. $4.99 once at launch, three Macs per licence, and every future tool is included. Requires macOS 15 or later.
