Transform Your
Mac Notch
Itchy is a free macOS notch app that transforms your notch into a productivity hub. Choose from 12 built-in Nook modules including Pomodoro timer, Now Playing, Calendar, Mail, Live Activities, clipboard history, storage, and notes. Customize what's visible in your notch — your workflow, your rules.
Ship your own Nook modules
Add the SDK from GitHub, write a Swift module with import itchy, compile a macOS .bundle, then import it from Itchy Settings or copy it into the modules folder manually. Users can install multiple custom plugins as either Nook modules or custom menu/content tabs.
The docs also explain what a .bundle actually is, why it may appear like a single file in Finder, and how to build one from Terminal.
Choose Your Modules
Itchy comes with a variety of optional modules. Enable only what you need and customize their order from settings.
Stay Hidden During

Global Shortcuts
Control Itchy from anywhere with these customizable global keybindings.
* Modules like Weather, Mail, and Calendar require system permissions (Location, Automation, and Full Disk Access/Calendar Access) to function correctly.
