A free macOS toy that hangs two swinging balls from a MacBook notch, plus a small JavaScript widget for putting the same nonsense on websites.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-21 issue.

Why it surfaced

Notch Nuts turns the Mac menu bar into a tiny slap-responsive physics experiment: two balls swing independently from the notch, while a one-line script adds the accessory to any webpage. The signed, notarized app arrives with copy like “ONE SACK. TWO BALLS. ZERO DIGNITY.”
