Utilities in MicroNotch

The little controls. All close by.

Small things. Thought through.

Adjust the volume

Change output volume from the notch.

Keep your Mac awake

Use the sleep controls when a task needs your Mac to stay awake.

Pick a colour

Keep a colour picker close while you work.

A little background noise

Play background noise when you want it alongside your work.

IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR DAY

A familiar moment. A little help.

Settle into a task

Adjust the volume and start a little background noise before you begin.

Keep the Mac available

Choose the keep-awake controls you need for the work in progress, then stop them when finished.

INSIDE THE NOTCH

How to use it.

  1. Open Utilities from All tools in the notch.
  2. Choose the control you need: output volume, keep awake, colour picker or background noise.
  3. Review any macOS approval request for sleep controls. Stop keep awake or background noise using its own control when finished.

A familiar way in

Hover over or click the compact notch, use the menu-bar icon, or press Control–Option–Space. Search tools with Control–Option–K. If a shortcut is already taken, check the active shortcut in Settings.

Pin a favourite from All tools for quicker access. More about opening the notch

When the notch closes

Closing the panel does not undo your volume setting or stop an active keep-awake session or background noise. Return to Utilities to stop the active control.
