One-time price in US dollars, as each listing states it, lowest first. 1 app has no plain dollar one-time price and is left out. Launch prices count where the listing says so.
From its maker: Droppy brings files, clipboard history and everyday controls to your Mac's notch or a floating Dynamic Island. Gather files in the File Tray, find text, links, images and files you copied, control music and arrange shelf widgets for your daily tools.
Cuewake lets you attach notes, checklists, links and files to Mac apps and webpages, so your next step is waiting when you come back to them. It is a one-time purchase at $9, needs no account, works offline and runs natively on Apple silicon. It needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
Slap Alert is for founders who like to see a sale land. It watches Stripe, Paddle, RevenueCat, Polar or Dodo Payments with a read-only key, and Shopify orders arrive by webhook. For every new sale, a pixel monkey slaps a sticky note on your screen with who paid and how much, and win cards mark milestones like your first $1k. It is free for scripts, or $19 once with a 7-day trial.
Halo brings a Dynamic Island to your Mac, notch or not. It shows notifications, dictation, AI agent status and music, and controls the brightness of an external monitor. It costs $9.99 once, with no subscription, and needs macOS 15 or later.
Papa lives in your notch and has the personality of an Indian dad. He asks for your plan every morning, puts a time limit on distracting sites like YouTube, cheers your sales from Stripe and Dodo, and checks what got done at night. It is $4.99 once at its launch price, with a 3-day trial, and needs macOS 14 or later.
From its maker: PasteNotch keeps the things you copy within reach, so you can find them again without digging through windows. - Search copied text, links, images and files.
NotchNook Pro packs more than 37 features into the space beneath your camera. You can follow Claude Code and Codex sessions and approve commands from the notch, search your clipboard history, keep files in a tray, open a terminal and read scripts with a teleprompter that follows your voice. Lifetime is $19, or $3 a month, with a 48-hour free trial. It needs Apple silicon and macOS 14.6 or later.
Оберіть Droppy, якщо краще заплатити один раз, ніж оформлювати підписку.
Оберіть Cuewake, якщо хочете, щоб він працював нативно на Apple silicon.
Оберіть Cuewake, якщо потрібно, щоб він працював без інтернету, як каже його автор.
What to look for
Look for whether it stays out of the way until you hover, what it does on a Mac or display without a notch, and how much it asks to access.
