FOCUS, NO FRICTION
An island of focus,
above everything else.
above everything else.
Less window switching. More flow.
Everything you check all day long.
Now one gesture away.
Terminal
Your servers up
Your servers up
before the idea cools off.
Save your commands once and start any server with a single click — from any app. Logs stream live inside the notch, with links already clickable. If something dies on its own, the dot turns red before you even notice.
- 01 Your favorite commands, always one click away
- 02 Real-time process status
- 03 Live logs, and an alert when a service dies on its own

AI & agents
Know who's thinking. And how much is left.
How much Codex, Claude and Antigravity you have left, as a bar and a percentage. And when an agent finishes — or stalls waiting on you — the notch says so. No extra tab to babysit.
Clipboard
Nothing you copy
Nothing you copy
is ever lost.
Press ⇧⌘V anywhere and everything you've copied opens right under the cursor. Pick one and it lands in the field you were typing in — the text is already there when the panel disappears. Things you paste every day go in Pinned, and they survive restarting your Mac.
- 01 ⇧⌘V from any app — or any other combo you set in Settings
- 02 Arrows to browse, 1–9 to jump, Enter to paste
- 03 ⌘P pins what you reuse forever — passwords never get stored

Small tools.
A huge difference.
Those tabs you open every week — formatter, decoder, converter — now live in the fastest place on your Mac.

Focus & tasks
A pomodoro ticking on the edge of the notch, and a quick kanban for what can't slip.
▶
Media & clipboard
Play, pause and everything you've copied — without switching windows.
Screenshot to text
Select any part of the screen and the text lands in your clipboard.
News you follow
Add the blogs, dev sites and YouTube channels you care about. New posts land in the island, with an unread count on the notch.
People you follow
Follow profiles on X by their handle. Their posts show up right where you already look — no browser, no feed to fall into.
Everything it does.
In one list.
Every tab is optional: reorder them, hide the ones you don't use, or build your own. The island only shows what you actually want.
Terminal & services
Save your commands and start or stop any server with one click, from any app. Logs stream live, links are clickable, and a red dot warns you from the closed notch when something dies.
AI limits & agent radar
How much of your Codex, Claude and Antigravity quota is left, and which agent has finished or is waiting on your answer.
Dev toolkit
JSON, JWT with expiry warning, base64, epoch, colors, UUID and QR codes. Paste and it already knows what to do.
Clipboard history
Everything you copy, kept and searchable. Press ⇧⌘V anywhere to paste straight into the field you were typing in. Pin what you reuse every day.
Shelf
Drag files onto the notch to park them, then drag them out, AirDrop or copy — without hunting through Finder windows.
Camera mirror
Check your framing before the call. Resize it, round it, give it a border, and drop it anywhere on screen.
Media controls
What's playing, play and pause — on the edge of the notch, without switching windows.
Focus & tasks
A pomodoro ticking on the edge of the notch, and a quick kanban for what can't slip.
Screenshot to text
Select any part of the screen and the text lands in your clipboard, ready to paste.
QR to your phone
Finds the port your local server runs on and shows a QR — point your camera and test on a real phone.
News
Paste a site and DevNotch finds its feed on its own. New posts appear in the island; click one to open it.
X
Follow profiles on X by their handle and read their posts straight from the notch.
Command palette
⌃⌥K opens a palette that jumps to any tab or starts any service, without lifting your hands.
Your own tabs
Turn any shell command or web page into a tab of your own, refreshed on the interval you choose.
Multi-monitor
Pick which display the island lives on. It follows along when you plug, unplug or close the lid.
No notch? No problem
On Macs without a notch, DevNotch draws its own at the top of the screen — same island, same gestures.

The tab we didn't build.
Because you will.
In Settings, create a tab of your own: a shell command whose output lives in the notch, or a web page embedded right there. Pick how often it refreshes, then drag it anywhere among the built-in tabs — yours are not second-class citizens.
- 01 Any command: docker, kubectl, curl, a script of yours
- 02 Or any page: a dashboard, a status page, your own localhost
- 03 Reorder them alongside Terminal, AI and the rest

DevNotch finds which port your server is on, builds the address on your Wi-Fi and shows the QR. Point your camera and test on a real phone — no hunting for IPs, no typing.
- 01 Drag files to the notch and take them with you — AirDrop in one click
