Beta

The notch stops being dead space. WinterX Notch turns it into a living island: Now Playing, notifications, a volume and brightness HUD, mic and camera indicators, battery, calendar and timers — opened by hover, without stealing focus from the app you're using.

Coming soon

In private beta — a public release ships once it’s stable.

Expanded notch showing the current track with playback controls

Platform: macOS 15+ · MacBook with a notch
Built with: Swift · SwiftUI + AppKit · CoreAudio · EventKit
Highlights: In beta · Zero Swift packages · No network, no analytics

Features

What’s inside WinterX Notch

Now Playing

Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube in the browser — compact shows artwork and a waveform; expanded adds title, progress and playback controls.

Notifications from the notch

New notifications slide out of the notch. Click to open the app; they auto-hide, queue up and keep a history.

System HUD

Volume, brightness and output device show up right in the notch instead of the default HUD.

Privacy indicators

Know instantly when the mic or camera is in use, plus battery and charging status.

Calendar, timers, Pomodoro

A countdown to your next meeting, parallel timers and a Pomodoro, right at the top of your screen.

Winter design language

A pure-black island that fuses with the hardware notch when closed, dark navy glass when open — colours sampled from the app icon.
