That empty strip at the top of your screen? It was just sitting there. Now it lives.

The island

One island.
Every moment.

  1. Music

    Music. With the words.

    Artwork and a live waveform tinted from the album. Open it for the full player with seek, shuffle and synced lyrics that follow every line.

  2. Calls

    Calls. Answered up top.

    Phone Link calls ring in the island with Accept and Decline. NotchVault presses the right button in Phone Link for you.

  3. Notifications

    Notifications. Stacked.

    Banners with sender, app badge and message. Up to three stack, and a click opens the app.

  4. Meetings

    Meetings. Never late.

    An alert five minutes before and at the start, with a live countdown and Join for Zoom, Meet and Teams links.

  5. Timers

    Timers. Several at once.

    Drag the ruler to set a time, run more than one, and pause or cancel each from the island.

  6. AI agents

    AI agents. Beside the top.

    Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others report what they are doing, and the island tells you when one needs you.

In motion

Take a closer look.

Every transition is a spring, tuned like SwiftUI's: width, height, corner radius and the soft shoulders all move together.

Music, a message, a call, a meeting and a timer, one after another.

Liquid Glass

Black up top.
Glass below.

The music player can turn into Liquid Glass that bends and blurs whatever sits behind it. Choose it for every song, keep classic black, or let Auto pick glass for Apple Music and black for Spotify.

Everything

Your PC can go further.

The island is the start. NotchVault also brings a control panel, a home dashboard and small helpers you reach without leaving what you are doing.

Synced lyrics

Hover the music pill for lines in the album's colours, or show the current line right in the pill.

Home dashboard

Music, today, Focus and battery cards in one view. Ctrl+Alt+T opens it.

Battery

A charging animation with fill, bolt and glow, plus warnings at 20% and 10% with Battery Saver.

Bluetooth

Devices arrive with their name, an icon for their type and a battery ring.

Volume HUD

A clean volume readout whenever the system volume changes.

Focus sessions

Pomodoro rounds with a purple ring that lives in the island, out of the way of your work.

Water and to-dos

Gentle water reminders and a short to-do list one click away.

Clipboard and Shelf

Everything you copy, pinned or recent, plus a shelf to park files by dragging them onto the island.

AI agent status

Claude Code and other agents post their state, so you see when they are working or done.

Mascot mode

An idle style with eyes that follow your cursor, in place of the hairline.

Control panel

Every setting in one window, from the tray icon or the island: Liquid Glass, music and lyrics, calendars, notifications, batteries, focus and AI agents. Changes apply live.

FAQ

Questions

Is there a Mac version?

It is coming soon. NotchVault for Mac wraps the island around the real notch on MacBooks. Watch the GitHub repository to hear when it ships.

Does my PC need a notch?

No. NotchVault draws a black island at the top centre of any display. It sits on top of your windows and lets clicks through everywhere except the island itself.

Which music apps work?

Spotify and the Apple Music app out of the box. NotchVault reads the same media source as the Windows volume flyout. You can also allow browsers, VLC and other players in settings.

How do calls from my phone show up?

Through Phone Link. Incoming calls appear in the island with Accept and Decline, and NotchVault presses the matching button in Phone Link for you.

How do I add my calendar?

Paste an iCal link from Google Calendar or Outlook in the control panel. Feeds are read every five minutes, and you get an alert five minutes before each event.

Can I hide it when nothing is happening?

Yes. Turn on the hidden idle pill and the island disappears until there is something to show. You can also shrink music to a hairline.

Does any of my data leave my PC?

No. Notifications, calls and media are read locally. Lyrics are fetched from LRCLIB by song title, and calendar feeds come from the links you add.
