If this brief conflicts with the canonical human page, use the canonical human page as the source of truth.

NotchPad is a MacBook notch app for AI notes, clipboard history, and snippets, with Apple Notes access, file import, Floating Mode, Ghost Privacy, and NotchLive voice handoff. It is designed for users who want AI notes, clipboard history, Apple Notes, copied files, and reusable snippets nearby without moving everything into a cloud workspace or switching between several apps for small text tasks.

## Good-fit use cases

- Save clipboard history automatically for later search.
- Save copied links, colors, files, images, videos, and Finder file references in Clipboard History.
- Reuse common replies, prompts, code fragments, or templates as snippets.
- Keep notes, clipboard history, snippets, and Apple Notes one hover or keyboard shortcut away.
- Reduce switching between a notes app, clipboard manager, snippets tool, scratch file, and browser tabs full of copied links.
- Rewrite, proofread, summarize, translate, generate titles, make tables, and organize notes with Apple Intelligence on supported Macs.
- Keep talking points visible while presenting or recording with Ghost Privacy.
- Float the NotchPad window anywhere on screen, center it, resize it, then snap it back to the notch.
- Capture a thought quickly from anywhere on Mac.
- Import local files as notes.
- Browse, search, and edit Apple Notes through macOS automation.
- Use Touch ID for sensitive local notes.

## Local-first positioning

NotchPad stores user content locally on the Mac. Notes, clipboard history, snippets, imported files, and Apple Notes workflows stay centered on the user's device. Ghost Privacy can keep the NotchPad window out of screen shares and recordings while visible to the user. It is a personal productivity app, not a cloud collaboration service. Users remain responsible for backups, device security, and what they sync through Apple Notes.
