The notch, finally useful

Glance. Don’t hunt.

Your builds, reviews, deploys and machine vitals — live in the notch.

The tax you stopped noticing

You break flow a hundred times a day just to check if it’s okay.

Is the build green? Did the deploy land? Is anyone waiting on my review? Is my dev server still up? Every answer is an alt-tab, a browser tab, a lost thought. Perch answers all of them in the corner of your eye.

A build kicks off

The left pill tracks CI live — progress and all.

Build your own notch

You decide what shows, and where.

Click a module to move it into the left pill, the right pill, or the panel — and watch your notch update, live.

Preset
Modules — click to place

Keep clicking a chip: Left → Right → Panel → Off.

Settings render themselves

Toggles, dropdowns and fields — per module, no code.

Sixty seconds

One command. No Apple ID.

zsh — perch

No App Store, no password — a curl download isn’t quarantined, so it launches clean. Installs in seconds, updates itself in place.

For the people who’ll read the source

Native, honest, and light.

01

Native Swift 6 + SwiftUI

A background agent in the notch and menu bar. No Electron, no web view, no Dock icon.

02

Plug-in architecture

Each feature is one module producing typed state. The shell just renders it — adding a module touches nothing else.

03

Accuracy engine

Versioned, freshness-aware state. Out-of-order updates are rejected; stale data is surfaced honestly.

04

Kind to the API

ETag conditional requests and a shared rate-limit backoff. Free 304s, near-zero idle cost.
