Notch So Good

Notch So Good

**The world's smallest coworker lives in your Mac's notch.**

Meet **Chawd**. He's a mass of pixels. He lives in your MacBook's notch. And he has one job: watch Claude Code so you don't have to.

What Chawd Does

**He watches.** When Claude Code is running, a black pill extends your notch. Chawd sits on the left, a live timer ticks on the right.

**He performs.** 13 idle animations — wave, dance, sneeze, peek-a-boo, backflip, levitate, yawn, hiccup, spin, stretch, and more. He has absolutely no chill.

**He follows your eyes.** Move your mouse near the notch and Chawd's tiny pixel eyes track your cursor. Get close and he gets excited. Leave him alone too long and he falls asleep. Come back and he does a startled little jolt.

**He tells you things.** When Claude needs input, your notch expands into a notification. Color-coded by type — green for done, blue for questions, amber for permissions. Click anywhere to jump back to your terminal.
