Hollow puts Claude Code and Codex in the MacBook notch

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Hollow turns the MacBook notch—or a software-drawn notch on other Macs—into a live status area for AI agents, music, meetings, battery, and message badges.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-28 issue.

For: Mac users running Claude Code or Codex
Worth noticing: Hollow says agent activity stays on the Mac; Slack and WhatsApp integration reads unread badge counts, not message contents.

Field notes

The page describes two display modes: alerts can appear along the sides of the notch, while hovering or clicking opens a larger view. On a Mac without a physical notch, Hollow says it draws one and lets users choose which display to use. The listed integrations distinguish between agent events, Dock badge counts for Slack and WhatsApp, and music or device status; the site says message contents are not read.
