Crest is a control room that hangs from the MacBook notch. Music with synced lyrics, calendar with one click join, todos, notes, system stats, battery health, a clipboard shelf, and audio switching, all one hover away.
The part no other notch app has: modes. Home, Work, and Code are separate loadouts, and Auto switches between them from what you're doing. Every other notch app is one fixed set of widgets. Crest changes with your day.
It also answers your coding agents: when Claude Code or Codex stops to ask permission in a buried terminal, the notch shows Allow or Deny and can jump you straight to the exact terminal. The prompt stays visible on every display until you answer it, even over fullscreen apps. Your GitHub pull requests and CI checks sit in the same surface.
There is a Claude built in, too. Ask it to plan your afternoon or file a reminder and it runs on the Claude Code subscription you already have. No API keys, no account, nothing goes through a server of ours.
Free tier forever, plus a 7 day automatic Pro trial. Pro is $19.99 once, no subscription.
