The Wi-Fi password your Mac already knows
Someone asks for the code and it is on a router you cannot reach. Notchyreveals it from the network card in the notch — your own keychain, macOS's own admin prompt, gone again the moment you close the card.
One button instead of Keychain Access
No searching a list of hundreds of keychain items for the right one. The card knows which network you are on and asks for that entry.
Never automatic
Opening the card does not read anything. Only the explicit button does, because raising a system auth dialog on a hover would be indefensible.
Not stored, not sent
The revealed password lives in memory until the card closes. Notchy has no account, no telemetry on your data and no sync — see the privacy policy.
The rest of the network card
Signal strength in dBm, link rate, channel and band, security type and both IP addresses — the numbers macOS makes you Option-click for.

Wi-Fi password on Mac — FAQ
How do I find my Wi-Fi password on a Mac?
The long way is Keychain Access: search for the network, open it, tick Show password and authenticate. Notchy does the same lookup from the network card in the notch — one button, the same macOS admin prompt, the password on screen.
Does Notchy see my password?
Only when you ask, and only for as long as the card is open. It runs the system's own keychain lookup for the network you are on, shows the result, and clears it the moment the card goes away. Nothing is written to disk and nothing leaves your Mac.
Why does macOS ask for my admin password?
Because reading a keychain item is gated by the system, every single time. That prompt is macOS's, not Notchy's, and there is no way around it — which is exactly what you want from anything that reads keychain entries.
Can it read passwords for networks I'm not on?
No. The reveal applies to the network you are currently associated with. Keychain Access can search your whole history if that is what you need.
Is it ever revealed automatically?
Never. It is a deliberate button press — a hover or a glance at the card must not raise an auth dialog, so it never does.
What else is on the network card?
Signal strength in dBm, the bar reading, the negotiated link rate, channel and band, the security type, your local IPv4 and, on request, your public IP.
