About

Notch Radio turns your MacBook's notch into a live radio. Hover it and it morphs into a full player with album art, real track titles and transport controls. Move away and it folds back into the hardware. Thousands of stations from the Radio Browser directory. Free for ever with five stations. One payment unlocks the rest: $9.99 at launch until 19 October, then $19.99. Nothing renews. No account, no analytics, no server. A notch is not required.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
