Nunsseop (눈썹) is Korean for eyebrow, the little arch above your screen. It's free, open source, and has no account, subscription or tracking.
Install in 30 seconds
Download Nunsseop.dmg, open it and drag Nunsseop to Applications. The app is signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens right away. When an update is out, Install Update in Settings › General › Updates shows what's new, installs it and restarts Nunsseop (copies older than 0.38.0 download the new DMG once more).
Or with Homebrew:
brew install --cask namekun/tap/nunsseop
To update, run brew update && brew upgrade --cask nunsseop; when an update is out, Settings › General › Updates copies that command to your clipboard.
Needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Runs on Apple silicon Macs (not Intel), including on screens without a notch.
Your first minute
- Hover over the notch. It opens. Move the pointer away and it tucks itself back.
- Play something in Music, Spotify, YouTube Music or any browser. The notch picks it up, and the collapsed notch shows a tiny artwork and visualizer.
- Right-click the notch → Settings to choose your tabs, their order, the pop-ups you want and the size.
There's no Dock icon. Nunsseop lives in the notch.
On a fresh install the notch also opens by itself after a second and walks you through four short steps: how it opens and closes, the tabs, files and Search, and connecting the agent tools found on this Mac (or "You're all set" when there are none). Skip, Esc or Done ends it, and Settings › General › Show the welcome tour again plays it once more. After an update, it opens once to say what's new in that version, then leaves you alone.

Everything it does
🎵 Music
- Now playing from any app. Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, and browsers like Safari, Chrome, Arc, Dia and Aside. Artwork, controls and a progress bar you can drag.
- Synced lyrics from LRCLIB, under the title or under the notch while you work.
- Sneak peek. When the track changes, the title slides out for a moment.
- Podcasts and long videos get 15-second skips and a speed button (1× to 2×), when the player supports them.
🗂️ Get things done
- Shelf. Drag files onto the notch and back out later, with previews of images, PDFs and videos that grow with the shelf's height. Screenshots and finished downloads can land there automatically. Shake the pointer while dragging files anywhere and a small drop target appears right beside it.
- Calendar and reminders. Today in large digits, your week with a dot on busy days, today's events, and reminders you can tick off. Every account added to macOS works (Google, iCloud, Exchange and more), and you choose which calendars show.
- Upcoming events. Five minutes before a timed event starts, the notch shows its title and how soon it begins. Events with a Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex, FaceTime, Whereby or Chime link get a green Join button on Home, and clicking the notice joins the meeting.
- Search that can replace Spotlight. Apps (even ones outside Applications), files, system commands and settings, clipboard history, emoji (start with
:) and sums like 12*(3+4), ranked by what you open most. Initials work: vsc finds Visual Studio Code. Arrow keys pick, Return opens.
- Your shortcuts. ⇧⌘Space opens Search by default, or record any combination for it. Settings › General › Shortcuts also has actions that start empty: go to the agent that has waited longest (its terminal comes to the front), open the Agents tab, go to where the last notice came from, and open or close the notch. A combination another action already uses isn't saved, and Nunsseop tells you when macOS or another app already uses it.
- Timer, clipboard history, notes and an emoji picker. Clipboard history stays in memory and skips anything a password manager marks as secret. Tracking parameters like
utm_ and fbclid are stripped from links you copy.
- A detail beside the list. Shelf, Clipboard, Apps, Search and Notifications show the item under the pointer (or picked with ↑ ↓) on the right, with its actions. A click on a row still copies, opens or goes to the source at once.
