created an app to make ntfs work on mac, without any GUI and anything extra, just the ntfs on your files like it was always there!

it's free and open-source and built on C

I was just approved for 2.1.0 last week and both of these two build bump updates with tiny changes got put into a review queue. What is this? Did I miss this announcement?

Hi everyone! I’m looking for early testers for Notchest, a native macOS app that brings developer tools and everyday utilities into an expandable panel near the Mac’s notch.

The current public build is 0.6.0. It includes an interactive terminal, developer utilities, Codex/Claude Code usage statistics, a focus timer, notes, optional clipboard history, and a file shelf.

I’m especially interested in feedback on:

1. Installation: Is the download and first-launch process clear?
2. The interface: Do opening, closing, resizing, and switching sections feel smooth?
3. Daily use: Which tools are useful, confusing, or unnecessary?
4. Your setup: Does it behave correctly with an external display or a different macOS version?

If you already use Codex or Claude Code, feedback on the usage panels would also help. Those integrations require their own local setup.

Compatibility: The packaged build is for Apple Silicon. Source targets macOS 13+, with testing across older versions still in progress.

Signing status: This is a development build and isn’t Apple-notarized yet. macOS may show a first-launch warning; the website provides the explanation and opening instructions.

The app is free and open source, with no subscription.

You can leave feedback here or on GitHub. Including your Mac model, macOS version, and whether you use an external display would help me reproduce any issues.

Thanks for helping shape the next version!
