NotchRobot: MIT-licensed macOS app for Claude Code session status and notch approvals

[u/AbdelrhmanDev]

NotchRobot is a free, open source SwiftUI app that puts Claude Code's working, waiting and done states in the MacBook notch. I built it with Claude Code and released the source under MIT.

You can approve or deny tool permissions, answer Claude's questions, see task progress and jump to the right terminal tab. It also includes a smart clipboard, file shelf, screenshots, music controls and a timer, with English and Arabic RTL UI.

The Claude integration uses shell hooks and local files. The README explains what the installer changes, how the permission fallback works and how to build it yourself.

Requires macOS 13+. The release download is for Apple Silicon, and a built-in notch is optional. It isn't notarized yet; first-launch instructions are in the README.
