Download NotchFlow-0.3.0.zip, unzip, and drag NotchFlow to Applications. It's signed with a
Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it opens without warnings.

Requires macOS 14.6 or later; runs natively on Apple silicon and Intel. NotchFlow lives at the top of your
screen and in the menu bar (no Dock icon). Hover the notch or press ⌃⌥Space.

What's new since 0.2.0: the first of the Sixth Sense

  • A next step for what you copy (opt-in, Settings › Suggestions). Copy a link, a color, JSON, an
    address, a date, an email address or phone number, a path or a long passage, and the notch offers the
    obvious next step, once: Copy Clean Link, a swatch with RGB, hex and HSL, Copy Formatted, Open in Maps,
    Remind Me and more. Rules on your Mac decide: no AI service, no network, and nothing you copied is kept.
    Password managers, apps you exclude and text that looks like a key are skipped. Why? gives the
    reason, and copies come with Undo.
  • Finished downloads offer their next step too: Extract an archive (the archive is kept), or Extract
    Text and the other actions for a PDF, image, video or audio file.
  • It learns, on this Mac. Each dismissal makes that kind wait longer, and five in a row turn it off.
    Choose Fewer, Balanced or More, switch kinds off, and set quiet hours.
  • Work modes. The notch notices what you're doing (Developer, Meeting, Creative, Media, or Study when
    you choose it), and its shortcuts, ranking and suggestions follow. One click pins a mode; Settings › Work
    mode turns it off.
  • Focus sessions that stay focused. While a focus timer runs, only requests and failures come through.
    When it ends, the notch says what waited, with Review.
  • Action Chains. Several steps in one go: Web-Ready Images, Compress into a ZIP, Document Bundle and
    Pages as Images. Progress shows as a task, and the files made along the way are cleaned up.
  • Next Action, QR Code and Create ZIP. When an action makes files, the result offers the usual next
    step. New actions make a QR code for a link and a ZIP of what you dropped.
  • Agent Rescue. A failed CI run, build, deploy or agent turn offers Handoff: an editable brief with
    the repository, branch, run link and summary, copied for your agent. Nothing is sent anywhere.
  • ⌘K searches the shelf and the clipboard.
  • Settings › What NotchFlow observes says, for every capability, what it reads, why, what leaves your
    Mac, the permission, and how to turn it off. Diagnostics › Context Inspector shows what each
    suggestion was based on, without any content.
  • Reliability. Suggestions, screenshots, sound and alerts now take turns through one coordinator: a
    screenshot or sound change waits behind a suggestion or under the pointer instead of replacing it or
    being dropped, while requests and failures still come first. This also fixes an alert that could get
    stuck after collapsing the notch.

Known limitations

Developer preview, tested on one MacBook Air. External displays, Stage Manager and a full VoiceOver pass
still need work, and the Metal "Ultra" glass mode is experimental. Details are in the
README.
