Put a working space in your Mac notch
If you are searching for a NotchBuddy alternative because you want your notch to carry more of the project, try NotchNook Pro. Keep files in Tray, split transfers into Pockets, recover copied text and bring your presentation script close to the camera. The next action stays within reach while your main window holds the work. [1][2]
NotchBuddy’s NotchNook article still describes the lo.cafe product page as unavailable. The official site is lo.cafe, with the current Pro download, plans and support. NotchBuddy leads with a desk pet and sales notifications. Pro is built around a configurable Nook: choose your widgets, arrange their order and set the appearance to Liquid Glass or solid black. Use the same space as your day moves between research, delivery, calls and code. [2][3]

Open Prompter to keep your script near the camera, then return to music and widgets when you finish. Try that workflow on your Mac during the free 48-hour trial.
Make a client handoff easier to assemble
A delivery often involves files from several places. Put the exported artwork in one Pocket and the supporting documents in another. Shake the pointer while dragging to open a Pocket, then drag the finished group into its destination. Tray and AirDrop support the same flow from the notch. [2]
Keep reference text in the clipboard history alongside those files. Search earlier copies, use filters and categories, and open the history from the notch or its bottom shelf. The file shelf guide and clipboard guide cover both parts of the handoff.
Turn the prepared material into a presentation
Once the files are ready, open Prompter. Place the script under the camera and use paced scrolling or voice following. A separate script window helps you keep the material ready for another recording or call. This is a practical reason to choose Pro for teaching, sales demos and client updates. [2]
Calendar shows upcoming macOS Calendar events and the countdown before a meeting. Notes, tasks, timers and music controls keep the rest of the session nearby. Read the Mac teleprompter guide to prepare your first script. [2]
Keep coding-agent decisions beside your project
Claude Code and Codex sessions appear in the notch, where you can approve commands and answer questions. AI Usage keeps limits and renewal visible. Use those tools alongside the clipboard and files you already keep in the Nook. [2]
Choose which displays show your Nook, including an external monitor without a physical notch. Keep the tools near the screen where you work, whether you use the laptop alone or a desk setup. [2]
Choose Pro for the way you use your Mac
Pro requires Apple silicon and macOS 14.6 or later. Try every feature for 48 hours without a card, then get Pro lifetime for $10 with this NotchBuddy reader offer, covering up to two Macs. NotchBuddy’s $10 licence covers one Mac; this Pro offer gives you a second Mac at the same price. [1][4]
Download Pro and build the Nook around one project. Start with Tray, clipboard and Prompter; add the Calendar and agents you use. Our best notch app comparison helps you compare that workflow with other options.
