Apps a person checked come first, newest check first. Never ordered by payment.

Every MacBook Air since the M2 and every 14 and 16 inch MacBook Pro since 2021 has a notch at the top of the screen. macOS mostly leaves that space empty. Notch apps move into it.

MacPip lists 9 of them, and they are surprisingly different. Some turn the notch into a Dynamic Island for music, timers and notifications. Some put a clipboard or a file shelf there. One gives you a stern but loving dad who asks for your plan every morning.

Most of them stay small until you hover or something happens, then open up beneath the camera. Several also work on displays without a notch.

What these 9 apps offer, by their listings. An app can offer several, so the bars do not add up to 9.

How to choose a notch app

  • Decide what the space is for. Media controls, a clipboard, files you are moving, AI agent status or a daily nudge. One clear job beats a crowded panel.
  • External display? If you dock your MacBook, check that the app also works on a screen with no notch. Several here say they do.
  • Check your macOS. Droppy needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Cuewake needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Slap Alert needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Papa needs macOS 14 or later, PasteNotch needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Tucket needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Halo needs macOS 15 or later, and Toolnotch needs macOS 15 Sequoia or later.
  • Pay once. 8 of these 9 sell a one-time license.
