Field notes

SideNotch organizes small Mac tasks into independent left and right decks, each showing one active job and a footer for previous, mute, settings, and next controls. The visible examples include a teleprompter that accepts local .txt, .md, or .rtf files, the last copied item, and the newest file in ~/Downloads. The page also describes support for notchless displays, external monitors, and full-screen spaces, with macOS 14 Sonoma or later listed as the requirement.
