Eave

Eave is a notch app for macOS that turns your MacBook’s notch into a small hub.

It lives in your menu bar. Glance up for the song that’s playing and how much of your Claude Code session is left. Hover, and it opens into spaces you arrange yourself.

The closed notch with album art on one side and music bars on the other

The song that’s on, right where you look.

Connect Spotify, Apple Music or SoundCloud, and the closed notch shows the album art on one side and bars that move with the music on the other.

The closed notch showing the volume: a speaker on one side and a glowing blue bar on the other

The volume keys, answered by the notch.

Press volume or brightness and the notch shows it instead of macOS’s box.

Claude Code usage opened from the notch: session and weekly limits, a year-long heatmap and totals

Your Claude Code session, at a glance.

A small ring shows how much of your session is used. Eave also keeps a year of your activity as a heatmap, one square a day.

The file tray holding two images and a PDF, with the AirDrop All button

A shelf for files, with AirDrop.

Drag files up to the notch to keep them close, then drag them out wherever they’re needed, or AirDrop them in one move.

The Home space open, with the music player and usage ring tinted in colors from the album art

Spaces you arrange, in colors from the album art.

Each space is a small grid of widgets you place yourself, in the sizes you like.

Eave’s clipboard history: a note, a link with its preview, a color and a code snippet

Everything you copied, ready to paste again.

Text, links, colors and images, kept in order and one swipe away. Copies from password managers are never read.

The notch open below the camera, with hello, sam written in white cursive and Eave peeking up beside it

A hello, written by hand, when you unlock.

As the lock screen fades, the notch opens a little and writes hello, with your name if you like, in a handwriting drawn just for Eave.
