README

NotchDial

Turn your MacBook notch into a playful switcher for your AI coding agents.

Hover the notch, and switch between **Codex / Cursor / Claude** in one of three hand-crafted modes — a pocket universe, a neon sign, or a strip of tear-off tickets. Click, and the app is frontmost in ~12 ms. While an agent is working, its icon and a spinning ring live beside the notch — and a green ✓ lands there the moment it finishes.

Orbit · Black Hole	Tear Tickets

Modes

Orbit · Black Hole — a transparent deep-space scene composited straight onto your desktop: lensed starfield, twin nebulae, faint planet silhouettes, an accretion disk in the selected app's brand color. Swipe once and the next app flies in from deep space as a textured planet, bursts apart mid-flight and reassembles as its icon.
Neon Sign — the current agent as a hand-bent neon sign: power-down flicker, letter-by-letter ignition, electric surge on launch.
Tear Tickets — three paper tickets feed out of the notch and sway on real pendulum physics (roots pinned in the slot). Click one to tear its stub along the perforation — commit after tear.

🟢 Live agent status in the notch

Kick off a long agent run, switch away, and glance at the notch: while an agent works, the black bar grows well past the notch — its app icon on the left, a spinner in the app's color on the right. When the task finishes, the spinner pops into a **green ✓ that stays until you actually switch to that app** (or it auto-clears a few seconds after you're already there). Expanded, each mode speaks its own dialect: a rubber-stamped ✓ on the paper ticket, a badge on the orbit icon, a neon tick under the sign.

The widened bar is itself a hover target, split by where you enter: glide in over the **notch** and you get the switcher, as always; glide in ove
