And the rest.

- Timer and stopwatch. Countdowns with recent durations and a stopwatch with laps, in the same tab as Focus.
- Calendar and reminders. Your week at a glance, a countdown to the next event, and join links pulled from meeting invites for Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams.
- Pixel weather. The forecast as a small animated landscape with clouds, rain, snow, day and night.
- Battery. Charge level and, while charging, the actual wattage.
- Camera mirror. A quick look at yourself before a call, only if you turn it on.
- Themes. Built-in themes and accent colors, plus your own.
- Automatic updates and a Diagnostics screen that shows exactly what the app can and cannot see.
Two games, because the space was there.
Breakout and Dino Run both live in the Game tab. Dino Run is an endless runner with a day-to-night sky, gems to collect and a high score to beat. Both pause when you close the notch.
With or without a notch.
FunNotch needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later and runs on Apple Silicon and Intel. On an external display or a Mac without a notch it draws a floating island in the same place, so everything above still works.
Common questions.
Is every feature free?
Yes. FunNotch has no paid tier, subscription or account. It is open source under GPL-3.0.
Can I turn features off?
Yes. Tabs, widgets and live activities can each be switched off in Settings, and every macOS permission is optional.
