Cumba v1.1.0

Added

• Volume and brightness changes show in the notch, on by default (Settings > General > Indicators). Either can also replace the system indicator, which needs Accessibility. Brightness uses the private DisplayServices framework, since Apple silicon has no public brightness API.
• New widgets in the gallery: Notes (one quick note, saved as plain text), Clipboard History (last 20 copied texts, in memory only, passwords skipped), Keep Awake, Pomodoro and Teleprompter (scrolls a script under the camera and can hide the panel from screen sharing).
• Calendar: a Join button for Zoom, Meet, Teams, Webex, FaceTime, Whereby and Jitsi links, and an optional countdown before the next event.
• Settings > General: show the panel on the display with a notch, the main display or the display with the pointer; a dot while the microphone or camera is in use; and the app's own CPU and memory use.
• Media sources can be turned off one by one.
• Script activities (Settings > Connections > Scripts): your own scripts can show a status or progress beside the notch through the private socket, with their own token.
• Right-click the notch for Settings, Reset Panel and Quit, so they're reachable even when the menu bar icon hides behind the notch.
• A widget gallery in Settings > Widgets: every widget with a short description and an Add or Remove button. Widgets in a tab reorder by dragging.
• Settings > Permissions shows the live state of every permission, with one button to ask or to open System Settings.
• Swipe sideways with two fingers on the open panel to move between tabs. A swipe over something that scrolls sideways, like the calendar's days, scrolls that instead.
• Calendar: scroll the days or click one to see that day's events; alone in its tab, scroll up and down through the months and click a day. Click the month to go back to today. Resting the pointer on an event shows its location and notes, and events that are over are dimmed.
• Weather: click one of the coming days to see it, and click it again to go back to now; alone in its tab, the hours scroll sideways through the next day or the day you picked.
• AI Agents: with several sessions, click "+N" to step through them.
• Four new built-in themes: Neon Tokyo (deep indigo with a pink to cyan neon edge and monospaced text), Sakura, Synthwave and Violet Night. Themes can now fade the background into a second color (Appearance > Material > Gradient) and draw a glowing neon edge around the open panel (Appearance > Colors > Neon edge).
• A welcome window on first launch: how to open the panel, where Settings are, how to connect apps, and a Launch at login switch. It asks you to move the app to Applications when it runs from somewhere else.
• Releases include a .dmg with an Applications shortcut next to the .zip.
• README sections on uninstalling.
• Release downloads carry signed build provenance; check them with gh attestation verify. Releases are immutable once published.
• README banner, also used as the GitHub social preview.
• Settings > Claude Code: choose what can be allowed from the notch (everything, everything except shell commands, or nothing), and copy the hook token for manual setup.
• README sections on project status, verifying a download before opening it, and the permissions the app uses and when; SECURITY.md explains how releases are built and maps the security-relevant code.

Changed

• ljaspNotch is now Cumba, made by LJASP. The app, the disk image, the Chrome extension and the repository use the new name; the bundle identifier stays, so settings and Keychain tokens carry over. The app moves its folder in Application Support from ljaspNotch to Cumba on first launch. Claude Code hooks from earlier versions show as out of date: click Update… once in Settings > Claude Code. Load the Chrome extension again from the new app. The hook and script token header is now X-Cumba-Token.
• New app icon and menu bar icon: the notch resting on the brackets of a cumba, gold on deep navy.
• Tabs sit at the bottom of the panel by default (Settings > General > Tabs: at the bottom or at the top), with "+" to add a widget from a gallery and an Edit button. Editing a tab in the panel renames it, picks its symbol, moves it, adds or deletes tabs, and reorders or removes its widgets. Right-click a widget to remove it.
• The panel's width follows the open tab: as wide as its widgets, with room for a detailed view when a tab has one widget.
• The Claude Code widget is now AI Agents and also follows Codex (through its hooks in ~/.codex/hooks.json; trust them once with /hooks in Codex). It shows the session's title, what it's doing now ("Editing Notch.swift", "Running tests"), its last answer, and on a second page how full its context window is, read locally from the session transcript. While an agent works, a turning ring sits beside the closed notch, opening the panel shows the agent's tab, and a line under the notch shows the answer when it finishes. Installed Claude Code hooks show as out of date once, since two tool events were added; click Update in Settings > Agents.
• Widgets alone in a tab show a detailed view, and a compact one beside others. Weather looks like Apple's widget (sky colors, place, high and low, the next days, and the next hours when alone) and is now two units wide. Calendar shows the month with a week strip and the next events, or the whole month beside the list when alone. Media shows large artwork with the title and controls when alone.
• While something plays, the closed notch shows larger artwork and a larger waveform, sized to the notch. The Mirror widget turns the camera on only when you click it.
• Text size for the panel (Appearance > Panel Size > Text size), larger by default.
• A widget can be in several tabs; adding it to one tab no longer takes it out of another.
• The closed notch is always black over the hardware notch, whatever the theme's background color.
• The panel's width, height, indicator width and text size are set once in Appearance > Panel Size and stay when you switch themes; a theme sets only the look (material, colors, font, corner radius, shadow and animation). The size saved in an older custom theme carries over once, and theme files no longer store sizes.
• Weather shows the weather where you are by default (Location Services, rounded to about 10 km); choosing a city still works. Calendar and Weather ask for access with one click right in the widget.
• Built-in themes keep their names and settings. New Theme… in Appearance makes your own theme from the selected one under a name you choose, and your themes can be renamed any time. The Settings window shows the open pane's name as its title.
• Media reads whatever any app plays from the system's Now Playing: Safari, Chrome, YouTube, Spotify, Music, podcasts and more, with no extension or Automation access. This uses the private MediaRemote framework through a small helper run by the system's perl; the README explains it. Turn off "Read media from every app" for the previous behavior. The YouTube extension is now optional.
• New installations start with Media, Calendar and Timer; the other widgets, and widgets added in later versions, wait in the gallery. Installing the Claude Code hooks adds the Claude Code widget.
• Dragging a window or a browser tab past the notch no longer opens the panel; dragging files still does.
• Settings has no minimize button, reopens on the last pane and shows the pane's name as its title.
• Calmer motion: the lowest spring damping a theme can use is 0.7. Increase Contrast draws a clear panel rim, and Reduce Transparency replaces glass with an opaque fill.
• Empty and error states in widgets open the Settings pane that fixes them. The welcome window starts with a live "try it" step.
• The Chrome extension connection is off until you turn it on in Settings > Connections; if you use the extension, turn it on and paste the new extension token into its options.
• With Reduce Motion turned on in System Settings, the panel opens and closes with a short ease instead of a spring.
• Questions and ideas go to GitHub Discussions; issues are for bugs and concrete feature requests.

Fixed

• When Claude Code asks a question or wants a plan approved, the notch no longer shows it as a permission request with Allow and Deny; Claude Code asks it itself, and the notch shows that the session is waiting, with the question under the notch.
• Long tool and project names, and the edges of icons, beside the closed notch are no longer cut off.
• Notes were never saved: macOS 26.6 refuses writes with complete file protection. The note is now written atomically and readable only by you.
• Context menus inside the panel (e.g. on files in the tray) now open; the notch's own menu used to replace them.

Security

• Script activities are off by default, use their own token on the private socket, are escaped like permission requests and can't be clicked. The volume key handling sees only media key events, never typing, and is off by default.
• Nothing listens unless you use it: the extension server runs only while the extension connection is on, the hook socket only while hooks are installed.
• The hooks and the extension have separate tokens, so the hook token in ~/.claude/settings.json can't be used on the extension's port.
• Allow from the notch can be limited, and the limit is enforced when the answer is sent, not only in the UI.
• The hook installer refuses to save if the settings file changed in any byte since the review, and says when saving will also reformat it.
• The release build uses a pinned, checksummed XcodeGen instead of the latest Homebrew version.

Installing

Open Cumba-v1.1.0.dmg and drag Cumba to Applications (or unzip the .zip and move the app there).

The app is ad-hoc signed and not notarized, so macOS warns on first launch.
Open it once, then allow it in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway, or run:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Cumba.app

Verifying

Check that a download was built by this repository's release workflow:

gh attestation verify Cumba-v1.1.0.dmg --repo muazfurkan/Cumba
