An open-source macOS utility that places music controls, weather, calendar context, and focus timers in the MacBook notch.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

Ledge uses the MacBook notch as a persistent surface for media playback, weather, calendar context, and focus-session countdowns. Its media card can be opened under the cursor for skipping or scrubbing, while the page says weather includes current conditions, upcoming hours, and rain warnings. The project identifies itself as version 1.0.0, is released under GPL-3.0, and states that it requires a notched MacBook running macOS 26 or later.
