Download NotchBuddy

For customers. Your licence key arrives by email after you buy. macOS 14 Sonoma or later · Apple silicon and Intel.

The download opens on launch day. Get notified.

Install

1. Open the downloaded NotchBuddy.dmg and drag NotchBuddy into Applications.
2. Open NotchBuddy from Applications. It's signed and notarized, so it opens like any other app.
3. A short welcome shows you how NotchBuddy works and lets you pick your pet. The last step asks for the licence key from your email. Paste it, and your pet moves into the notch.
4. Each key works on one Mac at a time. To move it later, use Settings → Licence → Deactivate this Mac.

Permissions

NotchBuddy only asks when you use a tool that needs something: Calendar asks for calendar access, and Now Playing asks to control Music or Spotify. Everything else works without any permission.
