About

Most notch apps just show what's playing. NotchAbove lets you control it: switch between speakers and AirPods in one click, and set each device's volume before you switch. It also puts your day in the notch: join your next call, run focus timers, take eye breaks, keep notes and to-dos, and check your Claude Code and Codex usage limits. A little companion peeks out to keep you company. Works on any Mac, even without a notch. Pay once, no subscription.

AI Summary

NotchAbove is a menu bar app for Mac that allows users to control audio devices, manage schedules, and track usage limits directly from the Mac's notch or menu bar. It is a one-time purchase with no subscription required and is compatible with all Mac models.

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