Turn Your MacBook Notch Into an Interactive Productivity Dock
NotchDock is a freemium macOS desktop utility application that transforms the static hardware camera notch on MacBook Pro and MacBook Air into a hover-activated status tray. It gives power users instant access to live sports scores, real-time stock watchlists with sparkline charts, clipboard history, Pomodoro timer notes, and universal media controls — operating 100% locally on-device with zero menu bar clutter and zero cloud tracking.

Everything you need to know about NotchDock on macOS.
What is NotchDock and how does it work?
NotchDock is a lightweight macOS desktop application that turns your MacBook hardware camera notch into an interactive status tray. By hovering your mouse cursor over the notch area at the top of your screen, NotchDock expands to show live sports scores, market watchlists, clipboard history, media controls, tasks, and silent notifications.
