OneNotch is an application for Mac that brings the things you use every day right to the notch of your MacBook screen. Hovering over opens it, moving the mouse away closes it. It doesn’t take up space on the Dock or menu bar.

The app includes the following features:

* Never-Lost Clipboard

Everything you copy is saved: text, images, links, and files. Quick search, preview without pasting, pin to the board for reuse. Private content can be locked with a password, and synced between Mac devices through your own iCloud. MCP is supported for AIs to call directly to the clipboard.

* Screenshot and Annotation

Capture a region, window, or scroll entire pages. Draw arrows, blur, crop, zoom in with a magnifying glass, perform text recognition (OCR), add mockup backgrounds. Captured images wait on the notch, drag and drop directly where needed. Highlights: auto expand background area, translate directly within the image, quick object removal.

* AI Agent Tracking

For users of Claude Code and Codex. View running sessions, browse requests, track tokens and quotas. When the AI completes its task, the notch will notify you; you don’t need to return to the terminal to check. Notifications are given when quotas are reset.

* And many small yet useful things

- Control music, view the lyric chart, with lyrics running word-by-word like karaoke on Apple Music.

- View calendar, create events and reminders, quickly summarize events of the day.

- Focus/Pomodoro timer helps concentrate on one task at a time.

- Highlight text on your Mac for quick translation, auto convert currency, weight, measurement units, time zones,...

- Drag files to the notch to resize, change formats, compress images, remove backgrounds,...

- Drag windows to the notch to split the screen in half or thirds.

* No notch on your Mac?

On an external screen or on a Mac without a notch, OneNotch appears as a "pill" above the menu bar, with all the usual pages.
