What is NotchStar?
NotchStar is a native Mac app that turns the MacBook notch into a small control center. Hover over the notch and ten tools open right under it: clipboard history, a file shelf with AirDrop, Now Playing, calendar and reminders, timers, a teleprompter, a camera mirror, quick notes, system stats and a disk tool, plus a screenshot tray that keeps new screenshots under the notch so you can drag them into a chat. No account is needed. Clipboard history stays in memory on your Mac, and anonymous version info is sent only if you opt in. The disk tool never deletes anything outright: cleanup moves files to the Trash. $4 once for up to three Macs, with a 7 day free trial and a 7 day refund (prices as of 10 November 2026). Requires macOS 14 or later, runs on Apple silicon and Intel, signed and notarized by Apple. Made by Arin Prajapati, an independent developer in Mumbai, India.
