One edge. A lot of character.
Start with a shape, layer in live information, then open a useful dock—all designed to grow from the hardware instead of floating beneath it.
Choose from crisp vector shapes, tuned to meet the real notch without gaps or overflow. Fringe, flame, and moustache variations come with Notch Design Pro.
Six real, lossless designs from the app’s vector collection. Their settings are saved per design, so a flame and a fringe never have to share the same fit.
Sixteen quiet animations turn sound, system activity, progress, and atmosphere into motion that begins exactly at the notch.
Equalizer, Stereo Wings, Wave Ribbon, Line Flow, LED Bars, and Bass Droplets react only while audio is playing.
Battery, Focus, Memory, CPU, Task Progress, Twin Current network speed, and Notification Ripple stay flush with the edge.
Turn the notch into a pull-cord lamp, let a comet orbit its perimeter, or add a dense Rain Curtain.
Combine one silhouette with up to four live layers. Progress effects receive their own perimeter lanes automatically, so every signal stays readable.
Move to the top edge and the notch expands around the hardware. Arrange widgets in fixed grid sizes, group them into tabs, and resize the dock without making its contents overflow. Playback, calendar, reminders, charging, focus, a mirror, a file shelf, and agent tools are all built in.
Notch Design detects the hardware, keeps each display independent, and quietly adapts to your wallpaper, power state, and accessibility settings.
Physical notch detection, per-display profiles, and a virtual top-edge mode for external screens.
Previews use the active desktop wallpaper, with a manual image fallback when macOS keeps it private.
Optional launch at login, sleep and wake recovery, plus low-power and thermal safeguards.
No account, personal analytics, microphone, or recordings. Feedback and system audio are explicitly opt-in.
After that, it’s $19.99. One payment, no subscription: every Pro silhouette, all six music visualizers, and up to four live styles at once.
Only for the first 100 buyers.

Designed around the hardware
Every silhouette, animation, and useful glance begins at the notch—so it feels connected, never stuck on.
