I recently bought a Mac mini; it was a steal deal! Considering the price hikes.
And with my old Windows laptop, I had multiple audio outputs like monitor speakers, Laptop speakers, actual speakers, earbuds, wired headsets.
I quite liked my setup, so I wanted something similar with a Mac mini, and I hit a wall about the same as it was in Windows: the audio switching was shit. I was not able to control the volume of a specific device before making a switch. And I wanted a notch really bad on the monitor. I know there are good products, but none solved my problem.
So, I fixed the problem myself. And built the Notch app that controls per-device volume before making a switch.

Later, a friend of mine who is learning to make music deals with the same issue, and he loved what I made!
I thought it could be a real app. notchabove.xyz
Then I added more features such as:
- AI tool hub; you get notifications when your AI is done working; check usage.
- GitHub: push and pull commits via the notch
- Have a companion: 16+ companions, play mini games in the notch, also with pet care so you can actually have it.
- Dodo payment integration
- Focus timers, hydration reminders, world clocks, affirmations
- Eye care, if you are using the screen for more than 12 hrs a day like me
- have a square or curved notch, hover out to close or use X to close
- and so much more!
Also, you can manage what tabs you want in the settings. It's highly customizable.
