OpenNotch 0.1 — an open-source AI assistant that lives in your MacBook's notch.

Install

  1. Download OpenNotch.dmg below, open it, and drag OpenNotch to Applications.
  2. First launch: builds aren't notarised by Apple yet, so macOS will say it can't verify the app. Open System Settings › Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway (once).
  3. Connect an AI in Settings › AI — sign in with OpenRouter, paste an OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini / Groq key, or use Ollama, LM Studio or Apple on-device.

What's inside

  • An AI agent in the notch with 40+ tools (files, shell, web, Mail drafts, Notes, calendar, reminders, contacts, weather, schedules) — thinking, plans and chat history (⌘Y)
  • Approvals for anything risky (glowing notch + chime, or say yes/no hands-free). It drafts email; it never sends.
  • Hands-free voice with on-device speech recognition; proactive proposals that never act on their own
  • 14 notch modules: clipboard, shelf, notes, timers, calendar, music, system, screen time, image converter, AI usage, captures, find files, menu bar and the assistant
  • MCP connectors · live activities · mic & camera indicator · Puff and the Bee / Ledge / Cat desktop companions
  • No account, no telemetry — chats, memory and settings stay on your Mac

Requires macOS 14+ on Apple silicon. Website: https://laxman824.github.io/opennotch/
