Crowny!

Crowny is an AI productivity tool for macOS that turns the MacBook notch into a control center for AI agents, meetings, music, and focus, so you can act on live information without switching apps. Its standout use is agent management: Crowny shows the status of Claude Code, Codex, and Grok sessions with visual indicators and lets you approve Claude Code commands straight from the notch, instead of hunting for the right terminal window. Around that core, it folds in everyday controls — calendar, email, music for Spotify and Apple Music, timers, and clipboard management — plus small games like Snake, Tetris, 2048, and Flappy. A Focus Mode runs a 25-minute Pomodoro-style timer that queues notifications, and wellbeing nudges cover water reminders, stand-up alerts, and 20-20-20 eye breaks. In Minimal Mode the notch stays hidden until a live activity needs attention. Crowny runs on Apple Silicon with macOS 15+, needs no account, and has a separate everyday-user version. For developers looking for the best AI agent productivity tool that lives in the notch, Crowny is a focused, one-time-purchase pick on BestAIFor.
