§ 01 / the problem

Your agents work
in the dark.

Claude Code, Cursor, Codex — they all want your attention. You either babysit them across five terminals or miss the critical questions.

Window chaos

Seven terminals, one brain.

You alt-tab between terminals trying to find the agent that needs you. By the time you do, you forgot what you were doing in your editor.

windows per dev, peak
Lost in approvals

30 seconds × 40 prompts.

Every Edit this file? steals thirty seconds of focus, triggers a context switch, and breaks flow. Forty prompts a day is twenty minutes of pure tax.

~20m focus tax / dev / day
Silent dead-ends

Agents stop. You don't notice.

A background Claude session hits a permission gate, sits idle for an hour, and you realize at standup. Compute wasted. Momentum gone.

§ 03 / faq

The five questions
you'd ask anyway.

Does NotchPilot send anything to the cloud?

Never. NotchPilot runs entirely on your machine, talks to Claude Code over a local UNIX socket, and has no analytics, no telemetry, no "anonymized" pings. Your license is validated once at install; after that, zero network calls. lsof it yourself — we dare you.

Will it work without a notch (Air, older MBP)?

Yes. On notchless Macs, NotchPilot renders as a floating menu-bar pill — same interactions, same shortcuts, just attached to your menu bar instead of a physical notch.

Does it modify Claude Code?

Only in one place: ~/.claude/settings.json, to register three hooks (pre_tool, post_tool, on_stop). One command — notchpilot uninstall — reverts everything and leaves your settings.json byte-identical to the backup we took.

Is this a subscription?

No. 9,99€ once — lifetime updates, no recurring billing, ever. A 7-day free trial is available (no credit card required), so you only pay if you decide to keep using it. Teams tier lands later; individual pricing stays at 9,99€. Full refund policy here.

What happens if NotchPilot crashes?

Hooks fail open. Your agents keep working without interruption — they just stop surfacing events in the notch until NotchPilot restarts (which it does automatically within two seconds via launchd).

Your editor is for code.
Your notch is for agents.
