DeskNotch brings the Mac notch to Windows. Hover the top of your screen and it opens into a small control center. Move away and it tucks itself back.

What’s inside
• Music: what’s playing (Spotify to YouTube tabs), with controls that glow in the album’s colours
• To-dos and reminders: reminders pop the notch open on time
• Focus timer: with a little companion that says “Done!”
• Shelf: drop files in, drag them out later, or use “Drag all”
• Screenshot catcher: rename, save or discard right from the notch
• AI usage: Claude Code and Codex limits at a glance (optional, only after you allow it)
• Privacy dots: orange when your mic is on, green for the camera, with the app’s name

Small details
Hides in fullscreen, hides from screen shares, shrinks to a 6px line over browser tabs, works across multiple monitors, and can start with Windows.

Free, no account, and everything stays on your PC.
