Notchifications is a lightweight macOS menu bar application that transforms the notch area into an animated progress bar display for tracking compilation, builds, and other long-running tasks. Instead of constantly switching windows to check progress, users can monitor task completion directly from their Mac's notch with visual feedback and celebratory confetti animations when tasks finish.
