## Kitsmith's take

Differentiates on the during-the-call moment, not just the before: mute and leave from the notch while you’re presenting.

## Features

- **Live activities:** 15 activities covering music, calendar, calls, AirPods, timers, and system status.
- **The Tray:** A clipboard manager holding your last 60 copies — text, links, colors, files, screenshots — OCR’d and searchable, with pinning to keep clips forever.
- **On-device dictation:** ⌥⌘M starts dictation that types into whatever field has focus, offline and with no per-minute cost.
- **Meeting controls:** A live call timer with mute, camera, and leave for Zoom and Google Meet, right from the notch.
- **App skins:** The frontmost app takes over the island — tab controls for Safari, Chrome, Arc, Brave, and Comet; session state for Claude Code and Codex.
- **Works without a notch:** On notchless Macs and external displays it runs as a floating island rather than drawing a fake notch.

## FAQ

**Is NotchBay a subscription?**

No — it’s a one-time purchase. Your license key arrives by email and unlocks one Mac for good.

**Does it work on Macs without a notch, or on external displays?**

Yes — it runs as a floating island at the top of the screen and never draws a fake notch.

**Can it really control Zoom and Google Meet?**

Yes — mute, stop video, or leave the call from the notch, with a live timer.

**Is it private and safe to install?**

It’s signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized. Content stays on your Mac, and permissions are requested only when a feature needs them.
