TickerNotch: Live Market Tickers + News in your MacBook Notch
by BitVibe Labs
$0+
TickerNotch transforms the space beside the MacBook notch, the pixels nothing else touches, into the pulse of everything you follow. Always in view while you work.
One search box adds anything to the strip. Type a symbol for a stock, index, ETF, future or coin. Type a city for weather: temperature, high and low, feels like, rain chance, rain amount, UV or wind. Type a handle for a live follower count from YouTube, GitHub, Twitch, Bluesky or Mastodon. Your own RSS channels scroll on the other side, and if markets are not your thing you can run news on both sides with different channels on each, no tickers at all.
New in 1.3: pin any slot to the macOS menu bar as its own live item. Click a pinned item and a panel opens with the detail behind it, a mini chart with the day's high and low for a ticker, every reading for a weather place, the current count and when it last updated for a social counter.
Traders get more. Enter a position and the notch shows live dollar profit or loss instead of the daily percent. Click a ticker for a candlestick chart window with moving averages, Bollinger Bands, RSI, MACD, Supertrend and Volume Profile, from 1-minute to daily. Price alerts fire native macOS notifications when a level is crossed or a move is big enough, measured over a rolling window or from the daily open.
It is native Swift and SwiftUI, a 6.5MB download, signed and notarized by Apple. There is no account and no analytics. Your Mac fetches the data directly.
Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later. On Macs without a notch, and on external displays, it draws a simulated island instead.
Free forever with one ticker, one weather slot, one social counter, one news channel, one alert and one menu bar pin. Pro removes the limits at $5 a month or $40 lifetime, after a 7-day full trial that needs no card.
