See your next meeting in the MacBook notch

Show upcoming calendar events in the notch before they start, choose how early, hide titles with privacy mode and play a sound alert.

Checked against the app on

NotchMind shows your next event in the notch shortly before it starts, so you don’t miss a meeting while you’re deep in something else.

Set it up

  1. Open Settings → Calendar and turn on Calendar live activity.
  2. When macOS asks, allow NotchMind to access your calendars. You can also grant it in Settings → General → Permissions → Calendar.

NotchMind reads the calendars in Apple’s Calendar app. Google, Microsoft 365 and other accounts work too, once you add them in System Settings → Internet Accounts.

Choose when it appears

  • Notice time: At time of event, or 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes before, or 1 hour before.
  • Ongoing event hide time: keep it showing Until event ends, or hide it 5, 10 or 15 minutes after start.
  • Time display format: Exact time (10:30), Relative time (in 5 min), or Exact and relative time.

Privacy and sound

  • Privacy mode hides event titles and shows only the time, handy when you share your screen.
  • Sound alert plays a sound when an event notice appears.

Event not showing?

  • Check that the event’s calendar is turned on in the Calendar app.
  • If calendar access was denied, turn NotchMind on in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Calendars.
