HaloNotch

Notch hub for MacBook & Windows

Hover over the notch: what's next, what's playing, weather, clipboard with a PIN vault, screen time and a file tray — one glance, no window switching.

About

Small studio, open code

Effrix is an independent studio run by developer Abin Sabu. It publishes two open-source apps and a line of children's books.

gPlayer fills a gap: Telegram doesn't make an app for the TV remote. gPlayer signs in through Telegram's official TDLib library and plays the videos, photos and documents already in your account on Fire TV and Android TV. It is free, has no ads, and its source is on GitHub under the MIT license.

HaloNotch turns the MacBook notch into a hub for weather, screen time, clipboard history, files, media and your calendar, with a preview build for Windows. Its data stays on your computer.

Effrix Books publishes thick-outline Bible coloring books for kids by author Ephraim Mathew, printed through Amazon KDP.

The apps are built in the open — read the code, report a bug or send a pull request on GitHub.
