NotchBuddyApp Store Connect sales in your Mac's notch
If you sell apps on the App Store, NotchBuddy fetches your daily sales report and shows yesterday's units and proceeds in the notch and the Revenue panel.
Part of the Revenue tool ↗- What it shows
- Daily units and proceeds. Apple publishes each completed day, so this is a report, not live.
- How often
- Every 3 hours, looking for the latest completed day Apple has published.

- Create a key with the Sales role and download the .p8 file (Apple lets you download it once).

What a App Store Connect update looks like
App Store Connect reports totals rather than individual payments, so NotchBuddy compares each sync with the last one and tells you what changed. The notch shows the change as a small pill, and the Revenue panel keeps the totals one hover away.
You choose the sound: a classic cha-ching, falling coins, a soft chime, or your own file. If you work in public, turn on Hide amounts in Glance and the pill shows the alert without the number; the amount stays in the Peek and the Revenue panel.
Today's takings, one hover away
Open Revenue from Home and you get today's total with a seven-day line, MRR, active subscribers and trials where the platform provides them, and the latest payments. Connect more than one platform and they sit side by side.
Your key stays on your Mac
- The key is stored in your Mac's Keychain, not in a file and not on our servers.
- NotchBuddy uses it to talk to App Store Connect directly. We never see your key, your customers or your sales.
- Payments are kept on your Mac for 31 days, with customer emails shortened (like jo•••@gmail.com).
- You can remove the connection in NotchBuddy, or revoke the key in App Store Connect, at any time.
Questions, answered.
Does it work if I sell on more than one platform?
Yes. Connect as many as you use. Each connection keeps its own key and schedule, and the Revenue panel shows them together.
Why the Sales role?
It's the narrowest role that can read sales reports. It can't change your apps, prices or users.
Where do I find my vendor number?
In App Store Connect, under Payments and Financial Reports. It's the number at the top left of that page.
