03For developers
Know when your
agent needs you.
While Claude Code or Codex works, the notch shows what it’s doing. When it needs a yes, or it’s done, you’ll know without switching windows.
Read from the transcript. “Editing router.ts”, “Run the tests”. Pro Notch reads the agent’s own transcript as it writes it, never polled.
Your next prompt, ready. Type in the notch while the agent works. It goes in the moment the turn ends.
One click to set up. Small hooks go in next to yours, and your settings are backed up first. They talk over a local socket, in about 12 ms.

07FAQ
Before you ask.
01Will it drain my battery?
No. At idle Pro Notch uses about 0.07% CPU and 23 MB of memory. It follows the pointer quickly only while it moves near the notch, slows down when it rests, and almost stops while your displays sleep.
02Does it work on Macs without a notch?
Yes. On displays without one it shows a virtual notch or a Dynamic Island at the top center, on one display or all of them. You pick the shape per display.
03Which music apps work?
Anything macOS sees as Now Playing: Spotify, Apple Music, podcasts, and music or video in your browser. No extra permissions are needed for that.
04Is it a subscription?
No. You pay 12.99€ once.
05Will it cover my menus?
No. Clicks pass through everywhere except the notch itself, and it only opens when you rest the pointer on it or click it. The delay is yours to set.
06How do Claude Code and Codex connect?
In Settings, Coding Agents, click Connect. Pro Notch adds its hooks next to the ones you already have and saves a backup of your settings file first. Codex asks you to trust new hooks once with /hooks.
07How do I get the app?
Download it and try everything free for 3 days, no account needed. When you buy, your license key arrives by email within a minute. Paste it in Settings, License.
08What happens when the trial ends?
The notch goes plain until you enter a key. Your settings stay. Lost your key? Have it sent again.
09Can I get a refund?
Yes, within 14 days, no questions asked. See license, refunds & privacy.
