## Description

NotchStar is a native Mac app that turns the MacBook notch into a small control center. Hover over the notch and ten tools open right under it, so the space around your camera does useful work.

## What is inside

- **Clipboard:** searchable history of text, links, images and files, kept in memory only, and it skips items a password manager marks as concealed.
- **File Shelf:** park files in the notch and AirDrop them in one drop.
- **Screenshot Tray:** new screenshots wait under the notch so you can drag them straight into a chat or an email. It holds up to 12, each for five minutes.
- **Now Playing:** artwork and controls for whatever is playing.
- **Calendar and Reminders:** your next events and due reminders at a glance.
- **Timers:** timer, stopwatch and Pomodoro with session tracking.
- **Teleprompter:** a scrolling script right under your camera.
- **Mirror:** a quick look at yourself before a call.
- **Quick Notes:** a scratchpad that is always one hover away.
- **System Stats and Disk:** live CPU, memory, battery and network, plus free space, big folders, duplicates and cleanup that only ever moves files to the Trash.
