About

NotchIsland turns the MacBook notch into a Dynamic Island: a true-black surface that grows out of the notch when something is live (Now Playing, timers, AirPods battery, downloads, notifications) and disappears when nothing is. Hover for a readout; click for a shade with quick toggles, a timer, your next meeting with a Join button, a file Shelf and clipboard history. Option-Space opens a launcher with app search, calculator and unit conversion. Forever free, open source (MIT), macOS 13+.

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