NOTCH APPLE

A Minecraft golden apple lives in your Mac's notch. Hover to open it, press and hold to eat it — for focus, for blocking distractions, or just for the particles.

Requires a MacBook with a notch · macOS 13+ · Apple Silicon · free & open source

One apple, three effects

Switch modes right in the tray. The apple remembers your pick.

// default

Potion Particles

Eat the apple and Minecraft potion swirls rise across your whole screen, with a golden flash. Zero productivity value. Maximum joy.

// focus

Pomodoro

Eat to start a focus timer. A potion-effect badge counts down in the notch. When it ends: the achievement chime and an "Advancement Made!" toast.

// discipline

Distraction Blocker

Cold turkey for social media. Open a blocked site and you get Minecraft's "Connection Lost" screen instead. Eat again to reconnect.

How it works

1

Hover the notch. The tray slides down and the apple appears.

2

Choose the effect. Pick Default, Pomodoro, or Blocker right in the tray.

3

Press and hold. A ring fills as you eat — then your chosen effect fires.

Blocked, the Minecraft way

What you see when you try to open a site on your block list.
