Itchy

Key Features

• •12 Built-in Modules: Itchy comes with 12 optional Nook modules including Prompter, Now Playing, Calendar, Mail, Bluetooth Devices, Clipboard History, Storage, Notes, Quick Toggles, Pomodoro Timer, Live Activities, and Weather. Enable only what you need and reorder them from settings to create a personalized notch dashboard.
• •ItchySDK for Custom Modules: Developers can build their own Swift modules using the ItchySDK, available on GitHub. Compile a macOS .bundle, import it via settings or copy to the modules folder, and extend Itchy with any custom functionality while keeping data private.
• •Global Shortcuts: Control Itchy from anywhere with customizable keybindings. Create notes (Control+Option+N), open clipboard picker (Control+Option+V), manage storage, control media playback, and more, all without touching your mouse.
• •Presentation Mode: Itchy stays hidden by default during screen sharing, preventing sensitive content exposure. A single toggle makes it visible when needed. Perfect for presenters who want a clutter-free experience while maintaining quick access to notes or timers.
• •Customizable Module Order and Visibility: In settings, users can reorder modules by dragging, show or hide specific ones, and configure individual behaviors. This allows tailoring the notch to match your workflow exactly, whether you prioritize calendar, clipboard, or weather.
• •Free Forever: Itchy is completely free with no in-app purchases or subscriptions. All 12 modules and the SDK are included at no cost, making it accessible to every Mac user who wants to boost productivity without spending money.

Use Cases

• •Presenting with Prompter: A speaker uses the Prompter module to display a script directly in the notch while presenting slides. They maintain eye contact with the audience and never need to hold notes or switch to a secondary display, resulting in a smoother, more professional presentation.
• •Quick Clipboard Access: A writer frequently copies and pastes text. They use the Clipboard History module to access the last 10 copies instantly via a global shortcut (Control+Option+V). This eliminates the need to switch windows or lose copied content, speeding up their workflow.
• •Focused Work with Pomodoro Timer: A developer sets the Pomodoro Timer module for 25-minute focus sessions. The timer stays visible in the notch, and a notification alerts them when it's break time. This helps maintain deep concentration without cluttering the desktop with third-party timers.
• •Monitoring Bluetooth Devices: A designer working wirelessly monitors their mouse and keyboard battery levels from the Bluetooth Devices module. A quick glance at the notch shows charge status, preventing unexpected disconnections during critical tasks.
• •Checking Weather and Calendar at a Glance: A project manager uses the Weather and Calendar modules. Without opening separate apps, they can see upcoming meetings and today's forecast directly in the notch, saving time and reducing context switching.

Who is this for?

Itchy is designed for macOS users who own a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air with a notch and want to make that space productive. The primary audience includes developers who can leverage the ItchySDK to build custom Swift plugins, presenters who need a discreet script prompter, productivity enthusiasts seeking to minimize app switching, and professionals like writers, designers, and project managers who benefit from instant access to clipboard history, calendar, weather, and Pomodoro timer. It is also ideal for anyone who uses screen sharing frequently and wants to keep their notch content private by default.
