Dots goes further by helping you access your favorite apps, websites, and shortcuts without constantly switching windows. Watch videos while working, take scrolling screenshots, use voice commands, and more. Whether you're studying, coding, or creating, Dots adapts to your workflow. Free to get started.

Dots is built to solve different everyday pain points, not just be another notch music player. Whether it's keeping videos accessible while working, capturing long pages, launching apps with voice commands, or bringing your own tools and Shortcuts into one space, the idea is to let users build a workspace around their needs. Not everyone has the same workflow, and that's exactly why we made Dots customizable.

@chrismessina wanted something short, simple, and easy to remember. Dots felt fitting since the whole idea is bringing different tools together into one little space on your Mac.

Round 3 on Product Hunt! Building in public and super stoked to share Dots with you all

Why Dots isn't just another notch music player

Most notch apps focus on media controls, battery indicators, or simple bounce animations. We wanted to build something that actually drives daily productivity no matter what field you're in.

Dots transforms your Mac notch into a customizable workspace HUD that adapts to diverse workflows:

Developers & Engineers: Monitor live AI agent workflows, background scripts, and Apple Shortcuts without context-switching.
Creators & Editors: Drop files into the top-edge shelf for instant conversions, or trigger picture-in-picture videos while keeping your main timeline clear.
Managers & Presenters: Use built-in screen highlighting tools to spotlight key data during live calls and screen-shares.
Students & Professionals: Stay locked into deep work with discrete Pomodoro focus timers right in your line of sight.

I built Dots to make my Mac’s notch more than just a music player

Most Mac notch apps focus on music controls, notifications, and animations.

I wanted something that could actually make everyday work easier.

So we built Dots, a customizable workspace that lives right in your Mac's notch.

You can bring in your own apps, websites, and Apple Shortcuts, use voice commands, watch videos while working, take scrolling screenshots, and more.
