Co nowego

License connectivity

License activation now connects through the official NotchNook website, avoiding hosting domains that some networks cannot reach. Your existing license, included Macs and saved data remain unchanged.

Fixes and improvements

- Displays: connecting or disconnecting a monitor or a dock no longer leaves old copies of the notch behind in memory.

- Pulse: the Pulse widget uses far less memory and CPU while the Nook is open. Its numbers now change without the rolling animation.

- Always open on hover: turning it on or off now takes effect right away, without restarting NotchNook Pro.

- Glass: notification cards such as finished downloads, Claude and Codex alerts, video downloads and AirPods use the same glass as the open notch, with text that stays readable over bright pages.

- Live Activities: the Show in fullscreen switches now work on the MacBook's built-in display: the activities you turn off stay hidden while an app is in fullscreen.

- AI agents: Claude Code and Codex hooks no longer leave default.profraw files in your project folders.

Fixes and improvements

- Messages: replies and files sent from the notch now arrive on macOS 26, including files from Downloads, and the message card shows its Liquid Glass right away instead of only when you point at it.

- Lock Screen: your MacBook now stays asleep when you close the lid while the lock screen is showing.

- AI Usage: the Keychain prompt for Claude Code appears far less often, and never while your Mac is locked, so unlocking no longer freezes.

- Startup: NotchNook Pro no longer reads your desktop picture, so it can't freeze at launch or ask for access to folders like Downloads. Settings previews use their own background instead.

- What's New: each version in the list now shows the day it came out.

Fixes and improvements

- Software Update: when a new version is out, the notch shows it for a few seconds, even over music, then keeps it in a small bubble with a yellow dot while something else is showing. Updates are also checked more often.

- What's New: each version in the list now shows the kind of update and what changed, instead of repeating "What's New".

- AI Usage: the Claude card's sign-in hint is shorter and no longer cut off: run claude in Terminal, type /login, then press ↻.

Fixes and improvements

- Notch: always appears and opens after you unlock your Mac. Before, it could stay hidden while Settings still opened.

- AI Usage: when Claude Code is signed out, the Claude card asks you to sign in instead of getting stuck on "rate limited". To see Claude usage, open Terminal, run claude, type /login, then press Refresh in AI Usage (allow Keychain access if macOS asks). Usage is checked less often.

- Glass: the closed notch no longer opens when the pointer passes just below it, over tab bars and toolbars. Now it opens only when you reach the notch itself, as in Classic.
