What lives in the notch

One small surface. Five things that used to need apps, windows, and context switches.

✏︎

Notes

Hover the notch, jot a thought, dismiss. Markdown supported. Quick paste with ⌘1 through ⌘9.

Voice

Hold ⌘⇧D and speak. Whisper transcribes locally on your Mac. The audio never leaves the device.

Drag and drop

Drag any file to the notch. Save to nox or send via AirDrop without opening Finder.

Music

Now playing surface for any audio source. Transport controls and volume right at the notch.

Videos and images

Drop a YouTube URL with ⌥⌘V. nox pulls it down with yt-dlp and keeps it tidy.

System events

Charging, screenshots, Bluetooth, AirDrop, timers. Everything that interrupts you, beautifully.

Built for keeping your data yours

nox runs entirely on your Mac. Voice transcription happens on device through Whisper. API keys stay in your keychain. No telemetry, no analytics, no account required. The app updates itself by checking a signed feed, nothing else.

Try it.

One DMG. Drag to Applications. Free during beta.
