NotchletA little more from your notch.THE CONTEXT
What the work connects.
Changing a track or checking the next meeting can interrupt the window you are working in. The top of the display offers a small, familiar place to keep those everyday controls within reach.
- Built for
- Mac users who want music and calendar details close at hand
- My contribution
- I built a native Mac companion in Swift and SwiftUI that brings Apple Music and Spotify controls together with a calendar agenda, event details, and meeting links.
HOW IT WORKS
From one step to the next.
- 01
Open
Bring the companion into view
- 02
Listen
Control Apple Music or Spotify
- 03
Plan
Check an event or follow its meeting link
- 04
Settle
Return to a compact notch
Notchlet opens around the notch and settles back when it is no longer needed. Music controls and calendar information share the same space, with optional audio-reactive visuals and settings for motion and pinning. A top-center layout supports displays without a physical notch.
THE RESULT
A working path through the task.
The preview gives music and upcoming events a compact home on the Mac. Its website explains compatibility, permissions, installation, and development changes, with a download for Apple silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later.
