NotchDodo activates the area around the MacBook notch as a hover-accessed workspace. On non-notch Macs, the panel is still accessible from the top of the screen. Fourteen tools are organized within the panel, covering productivity, system monitoring, and daily information.
The included tools span several categories: a customizable widget dashboard, a Pomodoro timer for focused work sessions, AI model usage tracking, a calendar view with direct meeting join buttons, reminders, a task list, notes, music playback controls, a file shelf for temporary storage, a calculator, screen time monitoring, system analytics (CPU, memory, network), and a camera mirror. All functionality operates on-device without an account.
