On Macs without a notch, NotchMemo lives in the menu bar with the same features.
Small tools you reach for all day, kept out of the way until you need them.
Pomodoro-style sessions you can start, pause or skip, with breaks timed to the work you actually did.
A short list of what matters today, plus quick habit check-ins and gentle streaks.
Capture a thought from the notch or a shortcut — or just say it when typing would be slower.
A screenshot shelf from folders you choose, Downloads suggestions you approve, and rules that always show a dry run first.
Daily and weekly recaps, a full menu-bar mode for Macs without a notch, and keyboard shortcuts for everything.
Privacy
Local storage, no accounts, no cloud sync and no network-based activation.
Memos, habits and recaps live in a local folder. They’re included in your usual Mac backups.
No feature needs a connection. You’ll only be online to buy and download the app.
There’s nothing to create and nothing to log in to.
Your license never phones home to check in.
macOS asks for access the first time you turn on a feature that needs it — never all at once.
How it works
Drag NotchMemo to Applications. No account to create.
Turn on the tools you want — focus, memos, shelf, rules.
Your day unfolds right at the top of the screen.
That’s it — no sign-up, no setup wizard, no account.

FAQ
The short version: it works offline, keeps everything on your Mac, and never decides anything for you.
Still have a question?
We’re happy to help.
Yes. On Macs without a notch, NotchMemo runs from the menu bar with the same features.
No. Every feature works offline. You’ll only need a connection to buy and download the app.
Only on your Mac, in a local folder. It’s included in your normal Mac backups, and removing the app and its data removes it completely. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Only what a feature you turn on requires: folder access for the screenshot shelf, Downloads access for review and rules, and the microphone for voice memos. macOS asks when you first use each one.
No. NotchMemo is a one-time purchase — pay once and keep it. There are no recurring charges.
No. Downloads review only makes suggestions, and file rules show a dry run first. Nothing is removed without your explicit approval.
NotchMemo is built and tested for Apple silicon Macs. We haven’t tested Intel Macs yet, so we’re not promising support there.
Yes. A license covers one Mac at a time. If you replace your Mac, you can move NotchMemo to the new one — just remove it from the old Mac.
Yes. Full refund within 7 days of purchase. Reply to your Dodo Payments receipt or contact Support — see the Refund Policy for details.
