Approve Claude’s requests and watch sessions from the notch.
When Claude Code wants to run a command, the request drops out of the notch with the command and the project spelled out. Allow it, deny it or always allow it without finding the terminal. While a session works, a small animation in the wing tells you it’s busy, and a card tells you when it’s done.
- Allow, deny or always allow with a click or ⌃⌥Y / ⌃⌥N
- Shows the full command and project before you answer
- Tells you when a session finishes, and what changed
A morning summary of your day, written by Claude.
Each morning Claude reads today’s calendar, reminders and weather and writes you a short plan for the day, waiting in the notch when you sit down. It runs through Claude Code on your Mac, so you’ll need Claude Code installed. Matte doesn’t send anything itself.
- A short plan for the day, every morning
- Built from your calendar, reminders and weather
- Runs through Claude Code on your Mac
Translate what you copied.
Copy some text, translate it in the notch, and the result goes straight back on your clipboard. On macOS 15 and later it uses Apple Translation, on your Mac. On macOS 14, or for a language Apple doesn’t cover, it uses Claude Code, so you’ll need that installed.
- The translation goes straight back on your clipboard
- Apple Translation on macOS 15 and later
- Claude Code covers macOS 14 and the rest
A short summary of whatever you copied.
Copy a long article, thread or email, or drop a PDF or document on the card, and Claude boils it down to a few bullet points. It runs through Claude Code on your Mac, so you’ll need Claude Code installed. The summary is one click from your clipboard.
- A few bullet points from whatever you copied
- Drop a PDF or document on the card
- One click copies the summary
Your next event and a one-click join.
The next thing in your calendar, with how long until it starts. When it has a video link, the join button is right there, so you don’t open three apps to get into a call. It uses the calendars already on your Mac.
- Your next timed event, at a glance
- One click joins Zoom, Meet or Teams
- Uses the calendars on your Mac, nothing new to set up
A quick countdown in the notch.
A countdown that lives where you can always see it. Click to cycle 5, 15, 25 or 50 minutes, hold to reset. It’s a pomodoro without the app.
- Click to cycle 5, 15, 25 and 50 minutes
- Hold to reset
- A gentle nudge when time’s up
How long you’ve spent in each app today.
A bar that splits your day by app, with your top two named. It only counts while you’re actually at the Mac, so lunch doesn’t look like five hours in Slack. Everything stays on your Mac and resets each day.
- Today’s time, split by app
- Ignores idle time, sleep and the lock screen
- Stored on your Mac, reset daily
Your last few copies, one click away.
The last few things you copied, kept in the notch. Click one to put it back on your clipboard. Useful the moment you realise you copied over the thing you needed.
- Your recent copies, newest first
- One click copies it again
- Kept on your Mac only
Count, fix and tidy what you copied.
Copy some text and Text tidies it up: stray spaces, broken line breaks and curly quotes gone. Change the case, turn a headline into a URL slug, sort or dedupe lines, or check the word count and reading time before you paste it into a form with a limit. The result goes straight back on your clipboard.
- Cleans up spaces, line breaks and quotes
- Recase and slugify in one click
- Word and character counts as you copy
A focus timer that quiets your Mac.
Start a 25 or 50 minute session from the notch. Mappy puts his headphones on, Matte holds its peeks and sounds until you’re done, and he dozes off at the end before a big stretch. If you like, it runs one of your Shortcuts as it starts and ends, to switch a Focus mode on and off.
- 25 or 50 minute sessions, started from the notch
- Matte’s peeks and sounds wait until you’re done
- Can run a Shortcut to turn on a Focus mode

Your next call, a minute before it starts.

Drop a file on Mappy — he converts, shrinks or sends it.
Drag a file onto Mappy, the small character who lives in the notch, and pick what you want: a smaller image, a WebP or another format, a few pages pulled out of a PDF, a lighter video or a GIF, a zip, or a quick AirDrop. He rotates pages, merges files into one PDF and picks the colour palette out of a picture too. He does it all on your Mac and hands the file back. No upload site, no account.
- Shrinks images and converts them to WebP, PNG, JPEG or HEIC
- Rotates PDF pages, pulls out the ones you need, or merges files into one PDF
- Picks a colour palette out of any image
Park files in the notch until you need them.
Drop files on the open notch and they wait there. Drag them out into an email, a folder or another app when you get there. It’s a halfway point for files on the move.
- Drop anything on the notch to keep it
- Drag it out wherever it’s going
- Clear the shelf in one click
Files you touched lately.

Your latest screenshots, ready to drag.
Your last eight screenshots and screen recordings, from wherever your Mac saves them, and Mappy catches each new one as it lands. Drag one straight into Slack or Figma, copy it, show it in Finder, or Present it in a clean browser frame.

Pick a colour from anywhere on screen.
Point the eyedropper at anything on screen and the colour is yours as HEX, RGB, HSL or OKLCH, ready to paste. Check two colours for contrast before they end up on a button. Pull a palette out of an image, or copy a gradient straight out as CSS.

Full-page screenshots of any web page.
Paste a link, drop one on Mappy or snap the tab you’re on. Snap draws the whole page on your Mac, top to bottom, including pages you have to sign in to see. Pick a width from wide desktop down to phone, and Present puts the shot in a clean browser frame, ready for a deck or a client email.
- The whole page, including signed-in ones
- Desktop, tablet and mobile widths
- Saves as PNG, JPG or PDF
Turn any link into a QR code.
Type or paste a link and the code updates as you go, styled to match the rest of your work: square, rounded or dotted modules, your colours, and a logo in the middle that still scans. Save a PNG for print or an SVG for the designer, or drag it straight out.
- Square, rounded or dotted, in your colours
- A logo in the middle that still scans
- Save as PNG or SVG, or drag it out

- A minute-long sparkline and the peak
- VPN traffic isn’t counted twice
Now playing, with lyrics and wings.

What’s playing in Podcasts.
Play, pause and jump back in Apple Podcasts from the notch. On macOS 14 to 15.3 the card shows the episode and how long is left. From 15.4, macOS keeps that to Apple’s own apps, so Matte shows that Podcasts is open and says why.

- The episode and time left on macOS 14 to 15.3

- The difference from you, and whether it’s tomorrow
- Tinted from dawn to night
Check your hair before the call.
A quick look at yourself before you join: the camera opens in a panel under the notch, mirrored like a real mirror, and switches off the moment you close it. Nothing is recorded. Matte asks for camera permission the first time.
