Apple gave you dead pixels. We gave you a command center.
Right now your notch does nothing. With Brow, hover it and get: screenshots with OCR, focus timer that blocks distracting apps, live CPU/RAM/battery stats, file staging, GIF recording, color picker, and one-click meeting joins. All without opening a single app.
Everything hiding inside your notch
Screenshots + OCR
Area, window, or fullscreen capture. But here's the killer part: select any text on screen — even inside images, PDFs, or videos — and OCR copies it instantly. No typing, no retyping. CleanShot charges $29 for this. GIF recording and color picker included.
Replaces CleanShot X ($29)Focus Timer + App Blocker
Start a Pomodoro and Brow blocks Instagram, Reddit, YouTube, Twitter — or any site/app you choose. The countdown lives in your notch so you always see it. No willpower required. When the timer ends, sites unblock automatically. People report 2x more deep work hours.
Replaces Session ($5/mo)System Monitor
CPU usage spiking? You see it. Battery degrading? You see it. Network speed dropping? You see it. Memory pressure, disk space, Wi-Fi signal — all at a glance without clicking anything. The information is just there, ambient and immediate. No menu bar icon, no separate app.
Replaces iStat Menus ($12)File Drop Zone
Drag any file to the notch. It stays there while you navigate to the destination folder, switch apps, or open emails. Then drag it out. No more "where did I save that?" No more Finder juggling. Stage files for AirDrop, email attachments, or bulk moves.
Replaces Dropzone ($8)Live Activities
Your notch shows what's happening right now. Timer counting down. Voice dictation in progress. Screen recording active. Meeting starting in 2 minutes with a one-click join button for Zoom, Meet, or Teams. No hunting for links — it's right there in the notch.
Now Playing
See what's playing from Spotify, Apple Music, or any media app. Album art, track name, playback controls — all in the notch. Skip, pause, adjust volume without switching apps or touching a menu bar icon.
Weather
Current temperature, conditions, and forecast right in your notch. No weather app, no browser, no menu bar widget eating RAM. Glance up and you know.
Calendar & Meetings
Today's schedule visible in the notch. Upcoming meeting? Join button appears automatically. No Calendar app, no digging through emails for Zoom links. The next meeting is always one hover + one click away.
Zero learning curve
Hover your notch
Move your cursor to the top of your screen. The notch expands into a full control panel. No keyboard shortcuts to memorize.
Click what you need
Screenshot, timer, stats, drop zone — one click. Or just glance at the live info without clicking anything.
Move away. Gone.
The notch hides everything automatically. Always there when you need it, invisible when you don't. That's the whole point.
