## About

Crest turns the MacBook notch into something you actually use. Hover it and it opens into pages of widgets: music with lyrics, weather, calendar, to-dos, notes, batteries, the Shelf for files and a searchable clipboard history.

New in 6.8, in beta: a screenshot editor. Take a screenshot the way you always do and Crest reads it on your Mac, finds emails, card numbers, sign-in codes, passwords, API keys and faces, and blurs them all in one click. After you save, Crest reads the saved picture back, and if it can still make out a word under a blur, it makes that blur stronger.

If you work with Claude Code or Codex, their questions show up on the notch. Pick an answer, type your own, or allow or deny a command, and the answer lands back in your terminal.

Crest keeps your passwords and 2FA codes. It fills your logins in Safari with Touch ID and types your six-digit codes for you.

Drop sends a file straight into a friend's notch or to your iPhone. Crest Cloud is a separate plan, from $5.99 a month, that keeps 50 GB of your files on every Mac and iPhone.

Crest Pro is $14.99 once for 2 Macs. Try everything free for 7 days with no account and no card. Crest for iPhone is in public beta on TestFlight.

Needs macOS 14 or later. On a Mac without a notch, Crest sits as a small pill at the top of the screen.
