EddieNotchNook alternative
Looking for a NotchNook alternative?
As of October 2026, NotchNook’s website (lo.cafe) doesn’t load and its app page shows “deployment disabled”. If a notch app was part of your day, Eddie is one you can buy today, for Mac and Windows.

What Eddie puts in the notch.
Hover the notch and it opens into these. Built around developers who run coding agents all day.
Agents
Live status for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Gemini CLI. When one needs permission, the notch lights up and you can allow it right there.
Costs
What each Claude Code session cost today, at API list prices, read from its own local logs.
Clipboard
Your last five clips with real previews. Passwords from password managers are skipped.
Focus
A pomodoro timer beside the notch, and guided stretches when the break comes.
Music
What’s playing, with play, pause and skip, without switching apps.
Sales
Today’s sales from Stripe, Dodo or Polar. A new one peeks out the moment it lands.
Vitals
CPU and memory health, live, and the app working hardest when your machine is cooking.
Eddie
A small mascot who lives in the notch: he drops down when an agent needs you and reminds you to stretch.
How it differs from NotchNook.
It’s built around coding agents. Eddie watches Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Gemini CLI, and lets you allow a permission prompt from the notch.
It has no file shelf. Eddie keeps your last five clipboard clips, but it doesn’t have a drop zone for files or AirDrop. If that’s what you used NotchNook for, Eddie isn’t a like-for-like replacement.
It runs on Windows too. On a PC, Eddie brings its own island at the edge of your desktop, and one key covers both.
It’s a one-time $4.67. No subscription, no account, and a 14-day refund if it isn’t for you.
Questions.
Is NotchNook discontinued?
We can’t speak for its developer. What we can see, as of October 6, 2026: lo.cafe, NotchNook’s site, doesn’t resolve, and notchnook.app shows “deployment disabled”.
Can Eddie import my NotchNook settings?
No. Eddie sets itself up from scratch; connecting each coding agent is one click in Settings.
Does Eddie have a file shelf like NotchNook?
No. It has clipboard history with your last five clips, but no file shelf or AirDrop drop zone.
How much is Eddie?
$4.67 once, with a 14-day refund, no questions asked. One key covers your Macs and Windows PCs.
