CodexNotch v0.2.0
CodexNotch 0.2.0
This update improves the everyday notch experience with smoother expansion and collapse, cleaner text, and a customizable center area.
What's new
- Expansion and collapse: Gentle hover feedback, a soft rebound as the card opens, smoother collapse, and a subtle shadow.
- Typography and spacing: Clearer text hierarchy and more breathing room. Text stays at its natural size during transitions to reduce visual jumping.
- Floating bar customization: Four center styles: personal signature, orbit, elapsed time, and light flow. Signatures support up to 12 characters and shimmer continuously during running, completed, and idle states. The preceding status dot has been removed.
- Icons and task titles: Better-balanced floating bar status icons. Conversation labels use the latest Codex task names, filter attachment headers, and display escaped characters correctly.
Settings apply immediately and are saved locally. Turning off animations or enabling Reduce Motion preserves clear static status indicators.
