Live weather, in your notch
Notchcast turns your MacBook’s notch into a living weather display — animated rain, snow and sunshine, a 10-hour forecast and a 10-day range, always a glance away. No app to open. On Macs without a notch, it floats as a tidy pill.

Live conditions, a full forecast, and any city on earth — all from the strip you already have.
What you get
Everything you want from a weather app, and nothing you don’t — in 4.5 MB.
Rain, snow, lightning, fog, stars and sunshine play right around the notch — matched to live weather, with adjustable particle density.
A run of animated hourly cards so you know exactly what the next ten hours hold.
High and low temperatures for the week ahead, mapped at a glance.
Switch locations from the notch, search any city as you type, and keep recents close.
Celsius or Fahrenheit, refresh from every 5 minutes to hourly, launch at login.
Just 4.5 MB of native Mac software — ultra-low memory and battery, never in your way.
Privacy first
No accounts, no analytics, no profile. The way Mac software should be.
Notchcast uses your location solely to fetch local conditions — never stored, never shared.
No sign-up, no telemetry, no data collection. Nothing to opt out of, because there’s nothing collected.
Pure native Mac software. No bloat, no background drain, no nonsense.
Live weather in your notch, the moment you log in. Free — no accounts, no subscription, ever.
