Micro-App Feature
The Best Mac Focus Mode Manager
Stop digging through the macOS Control Center to silence notifications. Notchy brings an elegant, one-tap Focus Mode toggle directly to your MacBook notch.
One-tap Do Not Disturb
When you need to get in the zone, just hover over the notch and tap the Focus icon. No need to interrupt your workflow by navigating complex menus.
Pomodoro Integration
Notchy doesn't just toggle Do Not Disturb — it also includes a built-in Pomodoro timer. Start a focus session, and Notchy will automatically manage your notifications.
Visual Status Indicator
Always know if your Mac is silenced. Notchy can display a subtle icon or glow around the notch when Focus Mode is active, ensuring you never miss important messages unintentionally.
Native iCloud Sync
Because Notchy integrates directly with the native macOS Focus APIs, your 'Do Not Disturb' state instantly syncs to your iPhone and iPad via iCloud.

Mac Focus Mode — FAQ
How do I quickly toggle Focus Mode on Mac?
Instead of opening the Control Center and navigating through menus, you can use Notchy. Swipe down on the notch to reveal your widgets and tap the Focus icon to instantly toggle Do Not Disturb.
Does Notchy sync with my iPhone's Focus states?
Yes! Because Notchy utilizes the native macOS Focus APIs, any Focus state you activate via Notchy syncs across your iCloud devices, including your iPhone and iPad.
Do notifications stay quiet while Focus is on?
Yes. While Do Not Disturb or any Focus mode is active, Notchy suppresses its own low-priority islands — download alerts, device connections, update notices — so nothing pops while you're heads-down. Volume, brightness, caffeine, and low-battery alerts still show, because you triggered them or need to see them.
Is Notchy a free alternative to other focus apps?
Absolutely. Notchy provides a suite of productivity tools—including a Pomodoro timer and Focus manager—completely free, all beautifully integrated into your MacBook's notch.
