BuildNotch Get for Windows

Changelog

What’s new.

The changes we’ve made to the little workspace at the top of your screen.

1.2.0

A cleaner clipboard, a smaller notch option, custom wallpapers, JSON formatting, and AI usage you can read at a glance.

New

  • NewFullscreen app controls. Chrome is the only app that changes notch visibility by default. Other apps stay visible; choose per-app fullscreen hide rules in Settings.
  • NewA smaller notch. Choose Short under Settings → General to make the collapsed notch narrower.
  • NewJSON formatting inside the notch. Open Developer tools → Format to pretty-print or minify JSON, then copy the result. Invalid JSON shows where parsing failed.
  • NewCustom notch wallpapers. Choose an image in Settings → Appearance for the expanded notch. BuildNotch dims it so the controls stay readable.

Improved

  • BetterClipboard history is easier to browse. Filter text, links, code, and images in a grid that wraps into more rows. Open a clip to see a focused preview, then copy it again or remove it. Images fit inside the preview.
  • BetterAI usage is easier to scan. Compact provider rings show remaining usage. Select one to see the available usage windows, reset information, and plan details. Choose which providers appear.

1.1.0

More control over your workspace, a place to hold files, and a clearer view of your AI tools. This update also tightens the parts you use every day.

New

  • NewChoose your widgets. Show or hide dashboard cards in Settings → Appearance. Hidden cards keep their position when you bring them back.
  • NewA temporary file tray. Drop in files, see their names and thumbnails, then export or drag them out when you need them. Removing a tray copy does not delete the original file.
  • NewAI usage in the notch. Open a dedicated view for supported signed-in tools, with separate usage windows and reset times when a provider supplies them. Manage which providers appear; unavailable data is marked as unavailable.
  • NewMore focus timer looks. Pick a timer style that fits your desk, from clean and quiet to pixel and terminal inspired views.

Improved

  • BetterEditing your layout feels more direct. Widgets gently jiggle in Edit mode, lift while you drag, and settle when you release them. The motion stops outside Edit mode and respects reduced animation settings.
  • BetterMusic is easier to scan. The media card gives artwork, track details, playback controls, and progress their own clear places.
  • BetterAI readings are easier to trust. Usage appears as each source responds, with a last reading time. A disconnected provider no longer looks like it has used 0% of its allowance.
  • BetterClipboard history is easier to manage. Remove entries you no longer need from inside the notch.

On the website

  • SiteA closer look at the app. The homepage now shows more of the actual widgets, and the demo gives you a quicker feel for the workspace.
  • SiteClearer buying and privacy controls. The download guidance explains where to find your installer, and you can choose whether to accept optional cookies.
