NotchHold is a shelf that hangs from your Mac’s notch. Drop anything onto it, go wherever you’re going, and pick it up from the same place.

5 MB. No account. Nothing to sign up for. macOS blocks the first launch — here’s why

Your Mac, as usual.

Three things, three apps, one place.

Switch Spaces. It’s still there.

Drop them where they belong.

See it in action.

Thirty-five seconds, one take, no cuts. Files go in from Finder, the Space changes, and they come back out.

Every Space. Every display. Every full-screen app.

Drag and drop on a Mac only works when you can see both ends at once. Switch Spaces mid-drag, or reach for a window on your other monitor, and it dies in your hand.

NotchHold puts the drop target in the one place that exists everywhere: the notch. Drop there, go anywhere, and it’s still there when you arrive.

What it does with your files

One shelf. Wherever you end up.

The notch is on every Space and every display, so the shelf is too. The same item, in the same place, whichever desktop you land on.

Loved on the desks it lives on

Real Macs, real relief.
