Kitsmith / Utilities / NotchPad
AI notes, folders, clipboard history, and snippets, all opened by hovering the notch.
Our take
Combines three tools people usually run separately — notes, clipboard manager, snippet expander — behind one hover gesture, with Apple Intelligence rewriting on supported Macs and Touch ID locking for sensitive notes.

Does NotchPad send my notes anywhere?
No — the developer states notes, clipboard history, and snippets never leave the device.
Is NotchPad free?

Can I run NotchPad together with another notch app?
