SkyNotch

Version 0.9.0

Download SkyNotch.

A signed and notarised disk image for macOS 14 and later.

Download for macOS

Or the same build as a zip archive.

1

Open the disk image

Drag SkyNotch onto the Applications folder beside it. That is the whole install.

2

Launch it once

SkyNotch lives in the menu bar. No icon in the Dock, nothing to configure.

3

Let it update itself

The app checks its release feed once a day and offers the next build in place.

Opening it the first time

The app is signed with a Developer ID and notarised, so macOS opens it without a warning. If it is ever blocked, open it once from its context menu in the Applications folder.

Every build is also on the releases page of the public repository.

In this build

0.9.0 · 2026-09-14

Changed

  • Updates are read from a small version feed on the public repository, and a downloaded update must carry SkyNotch's own signature before it replaces the app.
  • The calendar and playback permission prompts describe what SkyNotch does without naming other apps.

Fixed

  • A second copy of SkyNotch quits at once instead of drawing a second notch.

Every release, in full

Tell me what breaks.

The feedback form reaches the developer directly, and theissue tracker is the same thing in the open.
