Summary
Notchkin is a solo-built macOS app that turns the MacBook's notch into a quick note-taking tool. By hovering over the notch, a panel slides down allowing users to jot down thoughts instantly without opening or switching between apps. The maker, Danny, created it to solve the problem of forgetting thoughts while deciding which note app to use. The app is intentionally minimal, doing one thing only.

· 5 pulledI built it because I have the memory of a goldfish and the patience of a toddler.
I'd get a thought, freeze up choosing between the 13 note apps I'd installed and abandoned, and by the time I'd picked one, the thought was gone.
So I repurposed the most useless piece of screen real estate Apple ever gave us: the notch.
Hover over it, a panel slides down, you write your note, you get on with your life. No window to open, no app to switch to. It's already up there.
It does one thing.
Your MacBook's notch just sits there doing nothing. Now it takes notes. Hover over it, a panel drops down, you jot the thing down and carry on. And yes, there's a mildly passive-aggressive mascot.
