Mac notch Pomodoro, calendar and notes | NotchNook Pro

Mac notch Pomodoro: arrange music, Calendar, notes, tasks and focus timers in NotchNook Pro for a working day with meetings and focused sessions.

Mac notch Pomodoro with NotchNook Pro

Run a Mac notch Pomodoro session with NotchNook Pro, then check your Calendar and notes from the same workspace. Keep tasks, timers and music close while preparing the next delivery. [2]

Write the next action in To-dos, keep a short note in Notes and start a timer for the work ahead. Calendar keeps the next meeting visible while you finish. [2]

Prepare the next action

Use Notes for a short working note and To-dos for the next actions. Pro offers quick notes with a larger editor when needed, plus a task list in the Nook and a full window with a month calendar and focus timers. [2]

Write a concrete result, such as finishing the opening section of a presentation. Keep supporting files in Tray so the next action has its material nearby. A short list is easier to use during the session than copying your entire project plan into the Nook.

Choose a focus session and its music

Use a timer or Pomodoro session for the next block of work. Pro supports multiple timers, scroll-wheel controls with haptics and focus music. Music controls also let you see what is playing, seek within the track and skip songs. [2]

Set the timer for the task and the time available before your next meeting. When it ends, save your progress, review To-dos and start the next step.

Prepare for the meeting before it starts

Calendar shows upcoming macOS Calendar events and a countdown before each meeting. Use that view to decide whether to finish the current step or start preparing the material. [2]

Gather the meeting files in Tray and open your script in Prompter. Check the camera with Mirror before the call and use Shortcuts to run your configured actions. [2]

Arrange the tools you actually use

Right-click the notch and edit the workspace by dragging widgets to add, remove or reorder them. Choose Liquid Glass or solid black, and select which displays show the Nook, including screens without a physical notch. [2]

Download the 48-hour Pro trial on lo.cafe, without a card. It requires Apple silicon and macOS 14.6 or later. Complete one focus session and its meeting preparation, then keep the tools that made that routine easier. [1]
