## About

Notchverse puts a set of small tools at the top of a Mac's screen, in or around the notch. Hover over it to see the music player, which shows synced lyrics for Spotify, Apple Music or audio playing in the browser. From the same panel you get artwork, scrubbing and skip controls.

There are many other tools in that space. You can run named focus sessions with rain or ocean sounds and streaks, or park files on a shelf and drag them out later. Clipboard history is searchable, and link trays let you add notes to saved links. There's also an emoji picker and typed reminders like "send the deck at 4pm". A teleprompter sits under the camera and is hidden from screen sharing and recordings. A screen recorder captures screen, voice and a camera bubble, with auto-zoom, cursor effects, backgrounds and captions. Dictation (macOS 26) and screenshot capture to the shelf are included as well.

It works on Macs with or without a notch. It costs $7 once with free updates and needs macOS 14 or later on Apple Silicon.

## How the score works

The percentage is the raw share of swipes that went right. Rankings weigh that share against the number of swipes (a prior of 25 swipes at 50%), so a high score from a handful of swipes ranks below a slightly lower score from many. Anyone can swipe without an account; each browser or account swipes a product once.
