Free, open-source notch app for Mac: a focus timer, clipboard history, a file shelf, screenshot-to-task with on-device OCR, and keys Claude Code can use without seeing them.

What it does
A macOS utility that lives in your MacBook's notch, or in the menu bar on a Mac without one. Hover over the notch and it opens with the tools you reach for a dozen times a day.
