Nocto — the notch, opened.
Music, meetings, a shelf for files, a smart clipboard and battery updates — in the black space at the top of your MacBook.

Meetings

Questions
Which Macs does it work on?
Any Mac running macOS 26 or later. MacBooks with a notch get the full effect; other displays get a small virtual notch at the top of the screen.
What does it need access to?
Your calendar for meetings, Bluetooth for AirPods, and permission to read Music or Spotify — each asked for only when you use it. Nothing leaves your Mac.
Does it work with music in my browser?
Yes. Anything macOS shows as Now Playing appears in the notch — Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, web players and podcasts.
Is my clipboard history safe?
History is kept in memory and cleared when you quit. Copies that password managers mark as private are never kept. Clipboard history is off until you turn it on.
What happens after the 7-day trial?
Music keeps working for free. Meetings, the shelf, AirDrop, the clipboard and battery updates need a license.
How do I move my license to another Mac?
One key works on 3 Macs. To free a spot, open Settings → License on the old Mac and click Deactivate.
Can I get a refund?
Yes — within 14 days of buying, no questions asked. Write to support@getnocto.app.
