I'm building NotchTune — a tiny, native Swift macOS app that turns your MacBook's notch into a live Spotify controller. No Electron, no 100MB+ background hog, no dock icon. Just hover near the notch, and a smooth, notch-shaped overlay expands with track info, album art, and animated waveform seek bar.
v1.2 just shipped, and it's the update that makes NotchTune feel finished rather than "cool but rough around the edges":
- Reworked open/close animations — smoother, more natural expand/collapse
- Reworked "opened" state mechanics — the notch behaves more predictably once expanded
- Improved performance — less overhead, snappier response near the notch
- Fixed track control buttons — play/pause, next, previous now behave reliably If you have a notch and a Spotify habit, this is the release to try it out on. And if you like where this is going, a ⭐ on the repo genuinely helps it get in front of more people who'd use it.
It's still early — 4 stars right now — and I'd love for it to grow into an actual community project rather than a solo repo. If you want to poke at the code, fix something, or add a feature, PRs are very welcome.
