See how you build, at a glance
NotchPop reads the activity your AI coding tools already keep on your Mac and turns it into a compact dashboard. Your prompts stay private.
How it works
- 1
Connect a tool
Link the Claude Code or Codex CLI on your Mac, or add an API key. Cursor is detected on its own.
- 2
Keep coding
Tokens, sessions and streaks update from local data as you work.
- 3
Glance at the notch
Switch between tools, and see your streaks and a year of activity.
What it shows
Four tools
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Grok, side by side.
Usage
Tokens, sessions and tool calls from Claude Code and Codex.
Streaks and heatmap
Your active streak and a year of activity, day by day.
Cursor stats
Conversations, AI edits, streak and your most-used model, read locally.
Done alerts
Add a Claude Code hook from Settings and the notch tells you when a task finishes or needs input.
Local dev servers
Every localhost server on your Mac, with status and response time.
