About Notchly
Notchly expands the area around the MacBook notch into an interactive strip. It shows playback controls for Spotify, Apple Music and other sources, battery and charging status, lock screen music controls, and animations when Focus modes change.
It can also surface approval and completion alerts from Codex sessions after a hook is enabled in its settings. The README lists macOS 14.6 or newer, with DMGs on the releases page.
