Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about NotchDock on macOS.
What is NotchDock and how do intelligent notifications work?
NotchDock is a lightweight macOS desktop application that turns your MacBook hardware camera notch into an intelligent live update center and silent notification tray. Instead of noisy top-right banner popups, NotchDock displays subtle status indicators (pulse dots, live scores, stock price moves, meeting timers) directly in the black bezel area. Hovering your mouse reveals expanded controls and widgets.
How does NotchDock provide live updates for sports and stocks?
NotchDock pulls automated real-time feeds for Premier League, Champions League, NFL, NBA, MLB, and global stock markets (S&P 500, NASDAQ, crypto). It updates intraday metrics and scores silently in the background, making them instantly visible with a quick glance or mouse hover over your notch.
Why is NotchDock better than standard macOS notifications?
Standard macOS notifications are intrusive banners that interrupt your focus, pop up during screen shares, and clutter your Notification Center. NotchDock uses ambient micro-status indicators inside the camera notch bezel, allowing you to stay updated on what matters with zero chime distractions or banner interruptions.
Which Mac models and macOS versions are supported?
NotchDock supports all MacBooks running macOS Monterey (12.0) or newer, including macOS Ventura, macOS Sonoma, and macOS Sequoia. It runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) MacBook Pro & MacBook Air, as well as Intel Macs.
Is NotchDock private, secure, and free?
Yes! NotchDock is completely free during public beta. It operates 100% on-device with zero cloud server dependencies, zero tracking, and zero data collection. Your clipboard text and stock watchlists never leave your Mac.
