BuildNotch

A notch for Windows. Music, tasks, a timer, and your AI apps sit at the top of the screen.

Overview

BuildNotch is a bar that hangs off the top of Windows, like a Mac notch that actually holds tools.

Hover it, or hit Win + `. You get:

-Spotify / media controls

-Tasks and a couple of projects

-A Pomodoro with a few skins (clean, pixel, retro, terminal, and the rest)

-Clipboard history

-A tiny coding playground and a real terminal

-GitHub heatmap on the rail for developer stats, if you want it

-AI apps it finds on disk, so you are not digging through the Start menu for Claude or Cursor

I built it because I was tired of Alt-Tabbing for a timer and a to-do list. $2.99 on the Microsoft Store.
