Hatch sits right beside your camera and shows what matters now, without covering your menu bar.
Hatch hides in your MacBook's notch and opens into your music, meetings, to-dos and files the moment you need them, then tucks itself away again.

Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube or any video in Safari, Chrome, Brave, Edge and Arc. See the artwork, scrub the timeline, and skip without switching apps.
Hatch reads today's calendar and finds the meeting link for you, even when it's buried in the notes or wrapped in an Outlook safe link.
Jot a to-do in seconds and choose when to be reminded: at the time, 15 or 30 minutes, 1, 2 or 6 hours before, or any custom time. When it's due, the notch drops down, shakes and chimes until you snooze it, finish it or delete it.
Drag anything onto the notch to park it. Drag it out later into any app, open it, or AirDrop it. Tray files stay put across restarts.
Hatch remembers the last things you copied, so one click brings them back. Passwords from password managers are skipped, and history stays in memory only. A quick notes pad saves as you type.
Hover, click, or press ⌃ ⌥ Space from anywhere. Pin it to keep it open.
No account, no tracking, no analytics. Hatch only goes online to fetch artwork and lyrics for what you're playing.
A tiny native app written in Swift. It uses almost no battery and launches at login.

Fair question, since macOS warns you about it. Here's exactly why, and how you can check for yourself.
Apple's notarization costs $99 a year. Hatch is an independent app in free early access, so this build isn't notarized yet. That means Apple hasn't scanned it, not that anything is wrong with it. Paid releases will be notarized.
Every release is uploaded to VirusTotal, where dozens of antivirus engines check it. See the report for this version.
Calendar (to show events and find join links) and permission to control Music, Spotify and your browsers (to show what's playing). No accounts, no tracking, no access to your files beyond what you drop on it. Privacy details.
