Notchification turns MacBook notch into a progress bar for Xcode, Android Studio, and Claude CLI builds

A good honest bake. Not flashy, but you'll finish the whole bagel.
Summary
Notchification is a Mac utility that turns the MacBook's notch into a functional progress bar display for development tasks. It integrates with Xcode, Android Studio, and Claude CLI to show real-time build progress, with color-coded indicators for different tools, stacking for multiple builds, and confetti animations upon completion. The tool repurposes the otherwise unused notch space to help developers quickly check build status without switching contexts.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledA sleek progress bar appears right in your MacBook's notch when builds are running. Glance up. Know instantly. Get back to work.
Each tool gets its own color. Multiple builds? They stack. When it's done, confetti falls from the notch. Satisfying.
The notch takes up screen space and does nothing.
