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

System vitals. Model usage. Agent activity. Answered from the notch.

See CPU, memory, and battery next to model usage and live agent status — then, with Pro, approve Claude, Codex, and pi prompts without leaving what you are doing.

Community builds from public source. Pro is a one-time licence entitlement (not a subscription). Try Pro locally for 5 days / 120 hours — cardless, no checkout. Production binary availability remains a launch gate; there is no public binary download here.

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 or menu bar

MacBook with a notch? Live in the notch. iMac or external display? The same dashboard drops into the menu bar. 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

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

Every provider you already pay for.

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

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.

Community free. Pro once.

One-time perpetual licence per bought Mac count. Tax is calculated by Polar at checkout. Voluntary 14-day refund. Try Pro locally for 5 days / 120 hours without a card.

Purchase is a licence entitlement. Production binary availability remains a launch gate; the current binary is not generally released or notarized. Checkout is hosted by Polar (Merchant of Record).

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?

Not yet. The current binary is not generally released or notarized. Community builds from the public source. Paid purchase is a licence entitlement; production binary availability remains a launch gate.

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?

VoidNotch is built and tested on Apple Silicon. It will run on an Intel Mac (the HUD moves to the menu bar when there is no notch), but temperature readings are unavailable: 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?

Only if you build from Community source. There is no public production binary download on this site while the launch gate is still open.

Will you go subscription?

No. Pro is a one-time perpetual licence for the number of Macs you buy.

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. Community 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.
