NotchStats
Release history

What’s new.
What got better.

NotchStats is moving quickly. Here’s every customer-facing improvement since the first public alpha.

Current release 0.1.7 Apple silicon · macOS 14+ Download latest ↓
0.1.7 Latest

A clean path onto your Mac.

A fresh distribution package plus stricter checks on the exact file you download.

  • A new versioned download prevents stale cached packages from being reused.
  • End-to-end Gatekeeper verification now runs after the public ZIP is created and extracted again.
0.1.6

Your island, your layout.

The compact view now fits both your priorities and your actual display.

  • Choose what stays visible. Use ready-made layouts or show, hide, and reorder individual metrics.
  • Fits around the real camera. NotchStats measures each display’s safe area instead of assuming one notch size.
  • Steadier power numbers. Brief gaps in macOS battery or adapter data no longer make the reading jump unnecessarily.
0.1.5

Lighter at rest. Ready to update.

A quieter background footprint and a secure path for every release after it.

  • Much lower idle CPU use while the island is collapsed.
  • Secure in-app updates with preferences for automatic checks and downloads.
0.1.4

Power that tells the truth.

More reliable readings as your Mac moves between battery and a charger.

  • Faster power-source refreshes when a charger is connected or removed.
  • More stable compact readings during brief battery-data transitions.
  • Clearer labels for system draw, battery discharge, and charging power.
0.1.3 Public build

Signed for the road.

The first Developer ID-signed and Apple-notarized NotchStats download.

  • A smoother first launch through Apple’s standard Gatekeeper verification.
  • A verifiable download with a published SHA-256 checksum.
0.1.2

A face for the island.

NotchStats became a recognizable Mac app, not just a build artifact.

  • The first custom app icon across Finder and macOS.
  • Cleaner app packaging for installation outside the development build folder.
0.1.1

Power joins the compact view.

Useful energy context without opening the full island.

  • Live system-draw estimates on both AC power and battery.
  • An optional compact power metric beside CPU, memory, and network.
  • Clearer charging states for external power and a full battery.
0.1.0 First alpha

The notch gets a new job.

The first NotchStats alpha for Apple silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later.

  • Live system telemetry for CPU, memory, network, disk, processes, battery, and power.
  • Five minutes of history plus separate CPU-heavy and memory-heavy process lists.
  • A quiet native island that expands on hover, pins on click, and stays out of the Dock.
  • Practical Mac controls including launch at login and display preferences.
