About
NotchNook turns the MacBook notch into a panel of widgets that opens from the top of the screen, with swipe gestures to move around. The Nook holds media controls with album art, upcoming calendar events, Shortcuts, quick notes, and a Mirror webcam preview, while live activities keep the current track in view around the notch. Drag files onto the notch to park them in the Tray or send them with AirDrop. On displays without a notch it becomes a small handle with the same features, and it works across multiple monitors. It needs macOS 14.6 or later.
