Itchy is a free macOS notch app designed to transform your Mac's notch into a productivity hub. It provides users with customizable modules that appear directly in the menu bar notch area, allowing quick access to various tools without leaving their workflow.
The app includes 12 built-in modules: Prompter for reading scripts during presentations, Now Playing with album art and controls, Calendar for upcoming events, Mail inbox checking, Bluetooth device monitoring, clipboard history access, file storage, sticky notes, quick toggles for screen brightness and audio controls, Pomodoro timer, Live Activities for real-time updates, and Weather conditions. Users can enable only the modules they need and customize their order.
Itchy operates by installing as a macOS application that integrates with the system's notch area. Users can customize module visibility and behavior through settings, including reordering modules, showing/hiding specific ones, and configuring screen sharing mode. The app stays hidden by default during screen sharing but can be toggled visible when needed.
Benefits include enhanced productivity through quick access to frequently used tools, customization to match individual workflows, and privacy-focused operation with self-hosted modules. Use cases range from presentation assistance with the Prompter module to media control with Now Playing and organization with Calendar and Notes.
The product targets macOS users seeking to maximize productivity through their menu bar, including developers who can extend functionality using the ItchySDK. It requires system permissions for certain modules and supports custom module development using Swift and SwiftUI.
