Your notch, finally useful.
Wisp turns the black cutout on your MacBook into a live island for what's playing, who's messaging, and what's ticking. It stays out of the way until you need it.
After payment you'll get a download link by email.

Volume and brightness, in the notch

Quick controls
Volume and brightness sliders, dark mode, keep awake, mic mute, screenshot and lock.
File shelf

Updates in one click
When a new version is out, a green button appears in the notch. Click it and Wisp downloads the update, checks its signature, installs it and reopens.
Charging
Plug in and the notch shows the battery level for a moment.

FAQ
Questions
Does it work on a Mac without a notch?
Yes. Put Wisp at the top of the screen or on the left or right edge, on any display, including external monitors.
How do I get Wisp after paying?
Right after payment you get a receipt email with a Download button. It always gives you the latest version, so keep the email to download again on another computer. No GitHub or other account needed.
Is there a Windows version?
Yes, for Windows 10 and 11. It has now playing, Telegram unread alerts, the file shelf, timer, prayer times, clipboard history, quick controls and a volume indicator, at the top or on either edge of any display. Windows doesn't let apps read notification text, so Telegram shows the unread count instead of the message. The live YouTube cover and Liquid Glass are Mac-only for now.
Which macOS versions are supported?
macOS 14 Sonoma and later, on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
Will it slow my Mac down?
No. Wisp is a native Swift app that sits idle in the menu bar and only wakes up when something changes.
Does it work with WhatsApp or Slack?
Not yet. Telegram is supported today. Tell us on X which app you'd like next.
How do updates work?
Enter the email you bought Wisp with once in the app. Wisp then checks for new versions every few hours. When one is out, a green button appears in the notch: click it and Wisp installs the update and reopens.
Is any of my data sent anywhere?
No. What you play, read and copy is handled on your Mac and never sent to us. Wisp only goes online to check for updates (with your purchase email), fetch prayer times, and load the preview of a YouTube video you're playing. The Privacy page lists every request.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Email us within 14 days of buying and you'll get your money back. No reason needed.
