Agents

Your agents.
One place.

See every Claude Code session at a glance: which ones are working and which wait on you. When one asks for permission, Allow and Deny slide out of the notch.

  • Allow or Deny from the notch. No answer in 28 seconds? The terminal asks as usual.
  • Resume in one click. Opens the session in your terminal, in the right folder.
  • Finds the rest. Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Aider and Ollama show up from a local scan.

Closed, it says one thing

Black until it matters.

The closed notch shows one number per side. Nothing to report? It is just your notch.

the next touch.

See overdue replies, today’s follow-ups, the next meeting and hot account signals without living inside a CRM.

  • Local follow-ups. Add outreach tasks without giving the app access to Apple Reminders.
  • Explicit connections. Salesforce, Gong and Gmail connect only when you choose, directly or through HTTPS MCP.
  • You approve every message. Replies open as drafts; nothing sends itself.

Local first

Your data stays on your Mac.

Connections are always explicit

No automatic Apple Calendar, Reminders or email access. You choose each service, account and calendar. Tokens live in your Keychain.

Quiet while you record

Open OBS, Screen Studio, Loom or Riverside and the notch shows only a red dot. No client names in your video.

Undo everything

Every change it makes (Claude Code hooks, login item, tokens) is shown first and removed with one button.

Pricing

Try it a day. Keep it for good.

Every feature for 24 hours. No account, no card.

Lifetime licence for version 1 and all its updates, on your own Macs. 14-day refund, no questions.

What do I need?

A Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 26. Macs without a notch get a slim pill under the menu bar. Agent features need Claude Code; reviews need the GitHub CLI.

Does it send my code or messages anywhere?

No. Local signals stay local. Network calls go only to services you explicitly connect, and messages remain drafts until you approve them. Lemon Squeezy securely handles purchase and licence activation.

Why does macOS warn me on first open?

Preview builds are not notarized yet (Apple Developer Program is in progress), so macOS may call the app "damaged" on first open. After moving it to Applications, run xattr -cr "/Applications/Up A Notch.app" once, then open it normally. Notarized builds land with version 1.0.

Why not the Mac App Store?

The App Store sandbox would block the agent scan and Claude Code hooks.

Take your Mac
up a notch.

Agents, work and context — always within reach.
