About ClaudeNotch
ClaudeNotch is a free, open-source macOS menu bar application designed specifically for users who rely heavily on Anthropic's AI assistant. Created by developer Hidrogen Gradinaru, the app keeps a constant eye on status.claude.com to alert you the moment service issues arise.
Built natively in Swift and SwiftUI, ClaudeNotch is remarkably lightweight at roughly 500 KB and completely avoids resource-heavy frameworks like Electron. When an incident is published on the status page, the app triggers a Dynamic-Island-style alert that slides right out of your MacBook's notch to show you precisely what is broken, accompanied by subtle red pulsing along your screen's edges. You can also hover over the notch at any time to check live, per-component status updates.
Committed to user privacy and open-source transparency, ClaudeNotch contains zero analytics and is distributed under the MIT license.
