Pomodoro Timer in the Mac Notch

If you search for pomodoro mac notch timer, you are usually trying to solve one problem: stay informed without opening five extra apps. Korinotch puts that information in the MacBook notch — the one screen area that is always visible.

How Korinotch handles Focus / Pomodoro

Korinotch is a native SwiftUI notch utility. Focus / Pomodoro runs locally on your Mac with smooth expand/collapse animations that match macOS — not a floating web panel.

  • Micro-reminders and progress bars for deep work
  • Subtle notch expansion on interval change
  • Part of Focus Tools module
  • Combine with keyboard lock for distraction-free sessions

Why the notch beats the menu bar

Menu bar icons compete for space on the right. The notch sits center-top — perfect for glances during calls, coding, or design work. Korinotch expands on hover or when an event triggers (playback, alerts, sensors).

Getting started

Enable Focus / Pomodoro in Korinotch settings, then hover the notch to preview. You can combine it with other modules (music HUD, clipboard, weather, football scores) in one command center.
