Your whole Mac, one glance up.
Music, your voice, file drops, your calendar and focus timers. They all surface from the notch, then slip away when you're done. Native to macOS. Private by default.
7-day free trial · No card to start · Notarized by Apple · macOS 15+
One quiet pill. Everything your Mac is doing, then gone.
Now Playing
Every sound on your Mac, in one beautiful pill.
Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube in any browser, Podcasts, SoundCloud. nox shows what's playing with album art, a live waveform and full controls. It even works on the latest macOS, where other notch apps go blank.
- Scrub, skip and adjust volume from the notch
- The pill is tinted by the album's own colors
- Tap to jump straight to the exact browser tab playing
- Controls follow you to the lock screen
Voice to text · on-device
Press Fn. Talk. It's typed anywhere.
nox transcribes your voice with Whisper running on the Apple Neural Engine, tidies the filler and punctuation with on-device AI, and types it at your cursor in any app. No cloud, no account. Your audio never leaves your Mac.
- Works in any app, from your browser to your terminal
- Learns your names, projects and jargon over time
- Select any text and "Polish" to rewrite it in place
- Your music keeps playing and never cuts out
Files & AirDrop
Drag to the notch. Send it anywhere.
Drag any file, screenshot or browser image toward the notch and it blooms into two zones. Stash it in a tray, or AirDrop it on the spot. The fastest hand-off between your Mac and everything else you own.
- Two-zone drop: Save or AirDrop, decided as you let go
- Screenshots are caught and filed automatically
- Copy the text out of any image, on-device
- Your clipboard, organized without lifting a finger
Everything else it does
A whole toolkit, hiding in the notch.
Notes & tasks
Markdown notes, a floating pad, and brain-dumps parsed into tasks. All local.
Calendar & meetings
Your next event, with one-tap join for Zoom, Meet and Teams.
Focus & Study
A Pomodoro in the pill, daily goals, and a weekly streak.
Volume & brightness
A clean notch banner that replaces Apple's floating square overlay.
Battery & AirPods
Charging status and AirPods battery, surfaced, then gone.
Screenshots
Every capture caught, filed, and confirmed at the notch.
Yours to shape
14 settings for accent color, shortcuts, and exactly what surfaces.
Plus a lock-screen player, a teleprompter, and Bluetooth alerts.
Why nox
Powerful, but barely there.
Native to macOS
Pure Swift, no Electron, no web views. It sits at near-zero CPU when idle, so you forget it's running until you need it.
Private by default
Transcription and AI run on your Mac, not the cloud. No account, no tracking. Your audio, files and notes never leave the device.
Made to disappear
Everything rises out of the notch and tucks back in. One ambient surface instead of a dozen floating windows fighting for space.
Private by design
Your stuff stays on your Mac.
When you talk, your voice becomes text right on your Mac. Nothing goes online. nox doesn't track what you do, doesn't ask you to make an account, and doesn't have a server we send your stuff to. The only thing nox ever sends online is a quick check for updates. That's it.
What nox keeps on your Mac
What nox never collects
- Account info. There is no account.
- Your name, email, or phone.
- Telemetry, analytics, crash reports.
- What you typed, said, or pasted.
- Which apps you use, when, or for how long.
- Anything from your other tabs or windows.
The only thing nox ever asks the internet for is "any updates?" once every few hours.
Drag nox.app to Trash. Everything above goes with it.
Try it right here
It lives where your eyes already are.
Hover the notch above. On your Mac it does this for real. Music, dictation, drops, downloads, timers and more.
Questions? Answers.
Do I need a Mac with a notch?
No. A notch makes it feel native, but nox works on any modern Mac. It draws its own pill region at the top-center of the screen where a notch would be.
Is my data private?
By design. Voice transcription and the AI clean-up run entirely on your Mac (Whisper on the Apple Neural Engine), and your audio file is deleted the moment it's transcribed. Your files, screenshots and notes are stored locally. The only things that ever touch the network are optional features you turn on with your own API key, and checking for app updates.
Will it slow my Mac down?
No. nox is native Swift and sits at essentially 0% CPU when you're not using it. It only wakes when you reach for it, and it suspends its background helpers when nothing's playing.
Which Macs are supported?
macOS 15 or later. Apple Silicon is recommended, since that's what runs the on-device Whisper and AI features fastest. The download is about 129 MB.
What can play in the music pill?
Spotify, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and anything playing in a browser. That covers YouTube, SoundCloud, Twitch and Vimeo, across Chrome, Safari, Arc, Brave, Edge and others. It keeps working on recent macOS versions where some notch apps stopped detecting media.
