Crowny
Your MacBook notch as a home for your AI agents and your day
Overview
Every Claude Code, Codex and Grok session shows up in the notch with a light for what it's doing. When Claude Code asks to run a command, you can approve or deny it right from the notch. It also shows your Claude 5-hour and weekly limits, lets you hold Space to ask a question out loud, and keeps calendar, to-dos, timers, music and clipboard search (option-shift-V) in the same place. It won Track 02 (AI Agent for Real-World Productivity) at AI Day Noida 2026.
