Looking for NotchNook on Windows?
NotchNook is made for the Mac. Notchify brings the same idea, a living island at the top of your screen, to Windows 10 and 11.
Last checked: October 2026
Short answer: NotchNook is a macOS app that turns the MacBook notch into an interactive area for media controls, a file tray and quick actions, and it is not available for Windows. If
you want something like it on your PC, Notchify is a native Windows app that does the
same kind of job, without needing a notch.
