Choose NotchThings if…

- You want live indicators beside the notch, a per app volume mixer, a color picker and a launcher.
- You are on macOS 15.6 or later and a $6.99 lifetime unlock suits you.
Choose NotchStar if…
- You want the lowest price, $4 once, with a 7 day trial and one license for up to 3 Macs.
- You are on macOS 14, which NotchThings does not support, or you want a stated Apple silicon and Intel build.
- You want disk tools that find duplicates and ports, a screenshot tray and an AirDrop zone, with no account and no analytics unless you opt in.
The verdict.
NotchThings does more: AI usage tracking, a volume mixer, live indicators beside the notch, multiple notes and a launcher. NotchStar does less and costs less, and it runs on macOS 14. Choose NotchThings if you want the larger set of modules. Choose NotchStar if ten focused tools at $4 are enough.
What NotchThings is
NotchThings: Notch Tools is a Mac App Store app by Yigit Cicekci, an independent developer, with a website at notchthings.yigitcicekci.com. It describes itself as a menu bar utility that turns the notch into a control hub. Hover over the notch and a panel opens with modules for music, notes, todos, clipboard history, weather, timers, system readings and AI usage. On a Mac without a notch it draws a simulated one, as NotchStar draws a floating pill.
The Mac App Store lists it as free, with one in app purchase, Lifetime Unlock, at $6.99. The pricing page says every feature works for 7 days from the first launch, and the purchase then keeps the premium features with no subscription. The download is 8.2 MB and the listing requires macOS 15.6 or later. It lists English only, though the website offers ten languages. It shows no ratings yet.
The release record is short but busy. The version history shows nine releases between 9 May and 28 October 2026, about one every 21 days on average. The gaps vary: two releases landed a day apart in early August, and there were 66 days between 30 May and 4 August. Version 2.0.0 on 15 October redesigned the app and added the Volume Mixer, color picker, radial menu, Keep Awake and Lid Fold. Version 2.0.1 on 28 October added a Speed Test, several activities around the notch and a pinned AI usage indicator.
Who it suits
NotchThings suits people who run coding agents and want to see their limits. Its AI Usage module reads Claude and Codex allowances from local data, and the 2.0.1 notes add a refresh interval and a pinned indicator in the compact notch. Next to it sits Keep Awake, whose page frames it as keeping Claude, Codex and Gemini agents working overnight.
It suits people who like to arrange things. The Home dashboard has four widget slots, the Dock lets you add, remove and reorder modules, and you can export and import the layout. NotchStar has fixed tabs.
It suits people on a recent Mac who prefer the Mac App Store. Installs, updates and the purchase go through Apple, and macOS 15.6 is a hard floor, so check your version before you buy anything.
What NotchThings does that NotchStar does not
Live indicators are the biggest difference. Its Home screen mentions live status islands, and the listing promises dynamic notch indicators for music, weather, timers and charging. The 2.0.1 notes add several activities at once: click or swipe with three fingers to switch, and drag them to either side of the notch to shrink them into bubbles. NotchStar shows nothing when the notch is closed, so a timer needs a hover to check.
AI usage tracking is the second. The privacy policy names OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, GitHub, Kimi, Moonshot and MiniMax as endpoints it can read, depending on which providers you enable. It reads local credential files and Keychain entries to do so, and that is worth knowing before you switch it on.
It also has tools NotchStar does not list. A per app Volume Mixer mutes and controls individual apps and picks the output device. A color picker captures colors from the screen. A radial menu launches apps, files and websites. Speed Test measures download, upload, ping and jitter, and the privacy policy says it moves up to 170 MB through Cloudflare when you press start. Clean Links strips tracking parameters before you copy a URL.
Several shared tools go further here. Notes can be multiple, pinned, previewed as Markdown and exported, where NotchStar keeps one plain text note. Clipboard history keeps up to 40 items including images, searchable, and it persists in the app’s preferences. NotchStar keeps 50 items in memory only and clears them when it quits, so NotchThings suits you better if you want history to survive a restart. Its teleprompter also hides from window capture while you share your screen, and its system tab lists active processes with CPU and memory alerts.
What NotchStar does that NotchThings does not list
Price and reach come first. NotchStar is $4 once, with a 7 day trial, a 7 day refund and up to 3 Macs. NotchThings is $6.99, and its pages do not say how many Macs a purchase covers or what refund applies. NotchStar runs on macOS 14 and on both Apple silicon and Intel; NotchThings lists macOS 15.6 and does not state its chips.
NotchStar’s disk tools compare duplicates byte for byte, rank folders by size, list every listening local port with the project folder behind it, and recompress large photos and videos with originals sent to the Trash. NotchThings lists a Cleaner that finds old files, and nothing on duplicates or ports.
The file shelf has an AirDrop zone that opens the macOS picker with your files attached. NotchThings has an AirDrop Shelf with collections and batch sharing, so this is close to even. The Screenshot Tray, which keeps the latest 12 screenshots for five minutes so you can drag several into a chat, is not listed by NotchThings. Calendar and Reminders are read through macOS, and you can tick a reminder off from the notch; NotchThings lists a calendar widget and its own Todo list instead.
On privacy, NotchStar sends no analytics unless you opt in to anonymous version info, and has no account. NotchThings also says it has no account and stores data locally, which is the same promise, and it does not mention analytics.
Switching from NotchThings to NotchStar
On day one you will find a quieter notch with tabs for clipboard, shelf, now playing, calendar and reminders, timers, teleprompter, mirror, system stats, notes and disk. No dashboard, no widgets and no bubbles. Check timers and downloads by hovering.
You give up AI usage, Keep Awake, the Volume Mixer, the color picker, the radial menu and multiple notes. NotchThings pages describe no export for notes, todos or clipboard history, so copy out what you need first. Layout export is described, but NotchStar cannot import it. Your calendar and reminders stay in macOS and appear again after you grant access.
A sensible order: use the 7 day trial of NotchStar while NotchThings is still installed, but run one notch app at a time. If you bought the unlock, Apple handles refunds, not NotchThings.
What we could not verify
We have not tested NotchThings ourselves. Everything here comes from its website, privacy policy, FAQ, Mac App Store listing and Apple’s lookup data, read on 4 November 2026.
We could not confirm its license or chip support, how many Macs one purchase covers, or any refund terms. Its privacy policy says clipboard history stores plain text, while its release notes say images, and we do not know which is current. The listing says English only while the website lists ten languages. Its pages do not mention analytics, so we could not tell whether any is collected. We did not see how the live indicators affect battery, or how the sandboxed App Store build reads now playing beyond Apple Music and Spotify. The comparison table on its home page is its own and does not include NotchStar. The listing shows no ratings, so there is no outside evidence of quality yet. Prices were checked on the same date and can change.
Questions.
Is NotchThings free?
The download is free. Its website says every feature works for 7 days from the first launch, then Lifetime Unlock is one in app purchase of $6.99 with no subscription. Its App Store listing shows the same $6.99 price.
Does NotchThings need macOS 15?
Its Mac App Store listing says it requires macOS 15.6 or later. NotchStar needs macOS 14 or later.
Does NotchThings need an account or collect analytics?
Its FAQ and privacy policy say there is no NotchThings account and that data is stored locally. The policy describes a speed test that talks to Cloudflare only when you press start. It does not mention analytics either way.
Does NotchStar track AI usage or show live activities?
No. NotchStar does not track AI usage and does not show live activities in the collapsed notch. NotchThings lists both.
