VoidNotch Pricing
macOS 14+ · Apple Silicon · Free & Pro

Your Mac's vital signs. In the notch.

See system health, AI usage, and agent status in the notch, the menu bar, or a draggable Floating Gauge.

Pro is a one-time licence entitlement (not a subscription). Try Pro locally for 5 days / 120 hours. Cardless, no checkout. The public notarized download is a zip containing VoidNotch.app. Download, extract it, move the app to Applications, then open it. Safari usually extracts it automatically.

Apple Silicon Intel: build from source macOS 14+ MIT licence: v0.6.0 tag

Hover or tap the notch. Try it. It's the same widget that lives on your Mac.

The market split in two. We refused to pick.

AI Agent Islands

Live agent status, permission prompts, token counts. No idea what your machine is actually doing.

VoidNotch

Both. In the same strip of black glass you already have.

System Monitors

CPU, RAM, temps, battery. Blind to the AI burning through your quota.

One HUD, two worlds

CPU, memory, disk, network, battery and health sit next to live token usage from every AI provider you run. Nothing else does both.

It talks back

Agent started, finished, needs your input, hit a quota wall. The notch expands, changes colour, and plays a custom voice alert. You can look away from the terminal.

Notch, menu bar, or floating

MacBook with a notch? Live in the notch. iMac or external display? It drops into the menu bar. Or detach a draggable Floating Gauge and place it anywhere on screen. Auto-detected, switchable live.

Compact
VoidNotch compact strip showing system metrics on the left and AI usage on the right

Compact: system metrics on one side, AI usage on the other. Configure what each side shows.

Expanded: System
VoidNotch expanded System tab showing CPU load, memory pressure, swap, battery and thermal detail

Expanded, System tab: CPU load, memory pressure, swap, battery cycles and health, thermal and GPU.

Expanded: Model Usage
VoidNotch expanded Model Usage tab showing per-provider session and weekly usage windows

Expanded, Model Usage tab: per-provider session and weekly windows, remaining or used, cost snapshots.

Floating Gauge

Drag it anywhere. Make it yours.

A standalone gauge that floats above your work. Place it anywhere on screen. Pick one of four sizes and three appearances.

Toggle the metrics you care about, drag to reorder, then drop the gauge wherever it belongs.

Four sizes · Three appearances

Every provider you already pay for.

Claude · Codex · Gemini (Antigravity) · Grok, and more via CodexBarCore, on a best-effort basis.

Claude Codex Gemini (Antigravity) Grok + CodexBarCore
Usage figures are read from local CLI and session data on a best-effort basis. Providers change their formats without notice; unsupported ones are labelled clearly, never shown as a fake 0%.

Local by default. Honest about the network.

Usage and session figures displayed in the app are read from local CLI and session data on your Mac. There is no VoidNotch telemetry and no VoidNotch analytics backend for product usage.

Polar is contacted for licence activation, validation, and deactivation. Provider or runtime components you already use may make their own network requests independently of VoidNotch.

Free forever. Pro once.

One-time perpetual licence for up to 3 Macs. Tax is calculated by Polar at checkout. Voluntary 14-day refund. Try Pro locally for 5 days / 120 hours without a card.

Prices shown before location-dependent tax. Polar calculates tax at checkout. Voluntary 14-day refund; Polar may separately issue refunds under its buyer terms or chargeback-prevention rights.

Licence keys arrive via Polar receipt email and the Polar customer portal, not on this page after checkout return.

Frequently asked

Is there a notarized download?

Yes. VoidNotch v0.6.0 is publicly released and Apple-notarized. The download is a zip containing VoidNotch.app. Download it, extract it, move the app to Applications, then open it. Safari usually extracts it automatically. No Gatekeeper right-click bypass, and no Xcode required.

How does the Pro trial work?

The app can unlock Pro features locally for 5 days (120 hours) without a card or Polar checkout. When the trial ends, Pro features lock until you activate a purchased licence key.

Does it work on Intel Macs?

The public download is arm64 for Apple Silicon only. Intel Macs can run VoidNotch when you build the code published at tag v0.6.0, which is covered by MIT. Later versions are proprietary. The HUD moves to the menu bar when there is no notch, but temperature readings are unavailable because the thermal sensors are read through Apple Silicon's IOHID sensors and the Intel SMC path is not implemented. macOS 14 or later.

Do I need Xcode?

Ordinary use does not need Xcode. Download the notarized zip, extract it, move VoidNotch.app to Applications, then open it. Safari usually extracts it automatically. Xcode is only needed if you build the code published at tag v0.6.0, which is covered by MIT. Later versions are proprietary.

Will you go subscription?

No. Pro is a one-time perpetual licence for up to 3 Macs.

What happens if a provider breaks the format?

That provider degrades to “unavailable” rather than lying to you, and we ship a fix on a best-effort basis. Free and Pro both get it.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. A voluntary 14-day refund. Email support@voidnotch.com with your Polar order or receipt reference. Polar may separately issue refunds under its buyer terms or chargeback-prevention rights.
