Notch So Good

Notch So Good

The world's smallest coworker lives in your Mac's notch.

Meet Peek. Peek hangs off your MacBook's notch and watches Claude Code and Codex so you don't have to. The more a session needs you, the further Peek climbs out.

Install

That's it. No Xcode, no dependencies, no sign-up.

Also works with:

Or curl:

Requirements

- macOS 14+ (Sonoma or later). A MacBook with a notch is best; any Mac works.
- Claude Code (get it here), OpenAI Codex CLI, or Gemini CLI (beta, watching only)
- Approvals in the notch need Claude Code 2.0.45+; answering questions and plans needs 2.1.85+

What it does

Lives in the notch. While an agent works, a black pill extends your notch: Peek on the left, a ring on the right showing how much of your 5-hour window is left. Peek is a real-time 3D character: it breathes, blinks, reads along while the agent works and climbs out when it needs you. In between it has a life of its own: peekaboo, monkey bars, the odd loop-de-loop, a doze when things go quiet, and eyes on your cursor when it's near.

Taps you when you're needed. A finished task (with how many files it touched and whether the tests passed), an error, a usage heads-up: the notch opens into a card that says what happened and in which project. Click it to jump to the exact terminal tab, tmux pane included. Cards you're reading stay put; the rest leave on their own.

Answers from the notch. When Claude Code would ask you something, the notch asks instead, and only then:
- Commands and edits: the full command, or the file change in red and green, with Allow, Deny and *This session* (allow the same thing until the session ends). Risky commands are flagged. *Always allow* saves exactly the rule Claude Code suggests, for this project, and the card names it.
