What is NotchIA?

NotchIA is an independent French macOS application that transforms the MacBook notch — or the menu bar on Macs without a notch — into an interactive control center. It offers 14 native modules: multi-source player (Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music), calendar, on-device AI Digest based on Apple Intelligence, Focus with statistics, clipboard history, live integration of Claude Code and ChatGPT Codex, file conversion, system HUD, and Sneak Peek Engine. 100% local operation, no telemetry, compatible with macOS 15 Sequoia or later (Apple Silicon and Intel).

How to use NotchIA?

Download NotchIA from the official website or via Homebrew, then install it on your Mac (macOS 15+). The app automatically integrates with the notch or menu bar. Customize the appearance, visible tabs, and keyboard shortcuts. Use the free modules (media, calendar, focus, detections) and upgrade to Pro to unlock the Shelf, AI code tracking, and clipboard history.
