Time Notch

Time Notch turns your MacBook notch into a live focus timer — always visible, never in the way. While other timers hide in the menu bar, Time Notch puts your countdown exactly where your eyes already go.


MORE THAN A POMODORO TIMER


Most notch timers just count down. Time Notch goes further:

SCHEDULE YOUR SESSIONS
Set recurring focus sessions — daily, weekdays, weekends, or specific days. Time Notch alerts you when it's time to start, with options to begin immediately, postpone, or skip. No other notch app does this.

BUILD REAL HABITS
Track your day streak, daily goal progress, week-over-week comparisons, best day of the week, and peak focus hours. See if you're trending up or down over 8 weeks (Pro).

STAY IN FLOW WITH OVERTIME MODE
When your timer ends, don't stop — Time Notch switches to overtime, showing exactly how long you've gone over. A configurable shake alerts you at intervals you choose.

CONNECT YOUR WORKFLOW
End a session and automatically fire a webhook to Notion, Zapier, Make, or any tool. The only notch timer with automation built in (Pro).
