What this system is

Notchprompt is a macOS application that provides a dedicated overlay for displaying and controlling script playback, featuring adjustable text formatting and privacy protections. The system supports importing and exporting scripts in various formats and includes a built-in editor for text input. The codebase also maintains automated build and release packaging scripts to ensure compatibility and proper signing for distribution.

Features

Automated macOS release packaging and compatibility verification

Added build scripts to streamline the macOS release process. The new build\_release\_zip.sh script automates the Xcode build, applies ad-hoc signing for Gatekeeper compatibility, and packages the application into a DMG installer. Additionally, check\_release\_compat.sh was introduced to verify that the built app's minimum macOS version requirement aligns with the project's deployment target settings.

Notchprompt introduces a dedicated prompter overlay with playback controls and file management

Notchprompt now features a macOS overlay window that sits in the menu bar notch, displaying scrolling script text with adjustable speed, font size, and background opacity. Users can control playback via global hotkeys (Command+Option) or on-screen buttons for start/pause, jump back, and manual trackpad scrolling. The app supports importing and exporting scripts in various formats (TXT, MD, RTF, DOCX, ODT, PDF) and includes a privacy mode to prevent screen sharing. The overlay respects screen selection preferences, preferring the built-in display when available, and includes a dedicated script editor window for easier text input.

Fixes

Notch Prompt 1.1.3: macOS 14 support, build optimizations, and sandbox permission fix

This update releases version 1.1.3, lowering the macOS deployment target from 26.2 to 14.0 to support older systems. It enables dead code stripping and symbol generation for smaller, optimized builds, and switches the development team identifier. Additionally, it fixes a sandboxing issue by changing user-selected file permissions from read-only to read-write, and updates the project version to 3.

About this page

  • The score is its most recent published measurement, taken on 1 October 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit bbe1e19a8610986efd3a6c0ff52966d8138ad577 — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric-2026.09.18 — the same rubric and the same method as every other entry in this index.
  • Measured by watchdog.canine.dev using codehealth-analyzer preprod-e569280dd5e2.
