First public release. NotchTerm is now free and open source (MIT).

A terminal that lives in your notch — hover to show, move away to hide, shell sessions persist.

Highlights

  • Tabs (Cmd+T / Cmd+W / Cmd+1-9 / Ctrl+Tab), tab bar position configurable (top or bottom)
  • 25 built-in themes with complete ANSI palettes (Catppuccin, Dracula, Gruvbox, Nord, Rose Pine, Solarized, Tokyo Night, …)
  • Works on every screen: real notch on MacBooks, phantom notch on external monitors and non-notch Macs
  • Plain-text config (~/.config/notchterm/notchterm.conf) with live reload on save
  • Auto-hiding scrollbar; vim/htop/less fully usable (Escape reaches the terminal)
  • Universal binary (Apple Silicon + Intel), macOS 13+

Install

Unzip, move to /Applications, then clear the quarantine flag (the app is not notarized yet):

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/NotchTerm.app

Grant Accessibility access on first launch — used only to detect hovering over the notch. NotchTerm never logs, records, or transmits any user information.
