A macOS app
The strip around the camera shows your track, holds files, toggles Wi-Fi, counts Pomodoros — and can listen to you and type for you without sending a word anywhere.
Dictation
Press your shortcut, say a phrase, press it again. The notch recognises speech right on your Mac and pastes the text into the field you are working in. Focus stays put and your clipboard is restored.
Dictation requires Apple Silicon. Everything else works on Intel.
Island plan — 990 RUB

Island
Flip pages with number keys while the pointer is over the notch. Planner, calendar, system remote, timer and calculator — things usually hidden in menus and windows.
PromNotch dictation recognises speech on your Mac and pastes the text where your cursor is. No network, no account, Russian and English.
IslandThe core of PromNotch: a player for Music, Spotify and the browser, a file shelf, clipboard history and a charging standby screen. In the Island plan.
Island ProThe PromNotch planner takes tasks from Reminders, draws a day timeline from your calendar and finds a free hour. Notes save themselves and stay on your Mac.
IslandVolume, brightness, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, focus and theme on one notch page. Plus a calculator with history, a Pomodoro timer and a load monitor.

Everything for the notch except planner, notes and dictation. One-time.
Everything in Island plus planner, notes and dictation. One-time.
Privacy
No account and no analytics. Clipboard history lives in memory only. The license is verified offline.
The app is not yet notarized by Apple, so on first launch macOS will ask you to confirm opening it. It takes one click — see the download page.
Step-by-step PromNotch installation from a .dmg: moving it to Applications, confirming the first launch in Privacy & Security, and permissions. Plus how to uninstall it.
The notch in your MacBook screen can become a working panel: a player, a file shelf, your calendar, a timer, system controls and dictation. Which of these actually save time.
How PromNotch voice typing works: a speech model running on your Mac, pasting into any text field, and a history you can wipe with one button. Requirements and limits.
The notch pages lock until you enter a key. Your notes and settings stay: once you buy, everything is back as it was.
Into almost any field — it goes through the clipboard, so Electron apps work too. If pasting fails somewhere, the phrase stays in your dictation history for you to copy.
Yes, a key works on two of your personal Macs.
The app needs things the App Store sandbox does not allow: pasting text into other apps and controlling the system. So it is distributed directly from this site.
At rest — a fraction of a percent of CPU and a few dozen megabytes of memory. While you are not looking at the notch, the app does almost nothing.
No card, no account. Afterwards it is a one-time purchase: Island for 990 RUB or Island Pro for 2,490 RUB.
