7-day free trial · Card required, auto-charges after 7 days
Works with your AI coding tools
Monitor sessions, approve tools, read conversations. All from a tiny overlay that disappears when you don't need it.
Real-time session tracking. See what each AI agent is doing, whether processing, waiting, or needing approval, at a glance.
Approve or deny tool executions right from the notch. Allow once, always, or deny with a reason. No terminal switching.
Run Claude, Gemini, and Codex simultaneously. Sessions grouped by tool with color-coded indicators and section headers.
Full conversation view with markdown rendering, syntax highlighting, and collapsible tool results. Read what happened without terminal scrollback.
Sound alerts when agents finish. Cross-Space push notifications for permission requests. Re-bounce reminders if you miss one.
Zero telemetry. Zero analytics. Everything stays on your machine. The only network calls: update checks and license activation.
NotchCode hooks into your existing tools. No config files, no API keys, no complicated setup.
Download the DMG, drag to Applications. NotchCode lives in your notch. No dock icon, no menu bar clutter.
The onboarding wizard auto-detects your AI tools and installs lightweight hooks. One click. No terminal needed.
Start coding with your AI tools. The notch comes alive, showing status, bouncing for approvals, and keeping you in flow.
No subscriptions. No recurring fees. Pay once, use forever.

Yes. On external monitors or older MacBooks, the overlay appears at the top center of the screen.
No. Everything runs locally. The only network calls are daily update checks and one-time license activation.
tmux is a terminal multiplexer that lets NotchCode manage sessions. Install with brew install tmux.
Each license allows activation on 1 Mac. Purchase additional licenses for more devices.
The notch still shows activity and notifications. The expanded panel (chat, sessions, approvals) requires a license.
