Make Mac Better
Your day at a glance
Home brings together greeting, weather, music, events, reminders and AI usage. You choose what shows and in which column.
Notch · New
Your notch, finally useful.
Hover over the notch and it opens into a panel with your day: what’s playing, your clipboard, your screenshots, how much Codex and Claude you have left, weather, stocks, a teleprompter and more. On Macs without a notch, it draws a floating one.

And much more
Teleprompter under the camera, a mirror to check yourself before a call, stocks, weather, timer, quick note and Mac status.

Questions, answered.
Does it work on Macs without a notch?
Yes. On displays without one it draws a floating notch at the top centre.
Does anything leave my Mac?
Only what a tool needs: Weather asks Open-Meteo for the forecast and Stocks asks Yahoo Finance for quotes. Everything else stays on your Mac.
Can I get just the notch?
Yes: BetterNotch is the notch on its own, for free. Download it below. Make Mac Better includes it with everything else.
