Roadmap

↑ In Development

mach.brief [New App]

A minimal daily briefing widget for macOS and iOS. Calendar, tasks, weather — without noise. Phase 1 (App Group infrastructure, cross-app settings sync) and Phase 2 (vocabulary level system, onboarding picker) shipped in v1.3.0. iOS and full feature set in progress.

Obsidian Vault Sync [Shelf]

Notes created in the Shelf plugin write to a configurable Obsidian vault folder as Markdown files, kept in sync on every save.

⌛ Planned

Plugin SDK [Platform]

Public API and documentation so third-party developers can build and distribute their own notch plugins.

🚀 Launched

v1.3.2 — 2026-05-16

  • Release pipeline unbroken: Codesign now uses the correct rules_apple bundle path (bazel-bin/Apps/machNotch/machNotch_archive-root/machNotch.app) — root cause of the v1.2.0/v1.3.0/v1.3.1 release-build failures.
  • Release dry-run on every main push: Packaging and codesign regressions caught pre-tag; release SHA matches build SHA; cancel-in-progress: false prevents split-state releases.
  • CI hardening: Consolidated Bazel cache keys + Bazelisk binary cache; swift-format strict mode enabled with cleared baseline; tag pattern restricted to semver; arch-check SRC path corrected; CodeQL Swift moved to manual dispatch.
  • Teleprompter UI cleanup (closes #11): Final polish — readingAreaHeightMultiplier extraction and ActionBarSecondaryStyle relocation complete the cleanup tracked across prior sessions.
  • Note: v1.3.1 was tagged on 2026-05-15 but its release build failed at codesign and produced no artifact. v1.3.2 supersedes it.

v1.3.0 — 2026-05-10

  • PluginUIContext: New environment type resolves DIP violations — plugin views no longer depend directly on NotchViewModel. All built-in plugin views migrated.
  • mach.brief Phase 1+2: App Group infrastructure for cross-app settings sync; vocabulary level system with onboarding picker; word cache and offline fallback.
  • Bazel native build: Full migration to native Bazel rules for machNotch and XPC service bundle. Taskfile.yml replaces Makefile.
  • macOS 26 compatibility: Fixed XCTest async teardown crashes across multiple test files; switched CI to macos-26 runner.
  • Fixes: Bluetooth permission suppression; persistent TCC/accessibility sentinel; Calendar compact access prompt; stats UInt64 underflow guard.

v1.2.0 — 2026-05-03

First public release.

  • Plugin System: PluginManager + NotchPlugin protocol. All core features (Music, Battery, Calendar, Shelf, Weather, Webcam) are standalone plugins.
  • Teleprompter Pro: Countdown timer, mic monitoring, hover-to-pause, keyboard shortcuts, AI text refinement via Ollama.
  • Habit Tracker: Daily tracking with streaks, progress rings, and persistent storage.
  • Pomodoro Timer: Work/break intervals, session history, notch-integrated controls.
  • Browser Extension: Safari extension for media controls and SoundCloud metadata.
  • Local API & notchctl: HTTP + WebSocket server for external integrations; machnotch:// URL scheme; App Intents for Siri Shortcuts.
  • AI Subsystem: AIManager + AIProvider protocol with Ollama backend.
  • SOLID/DDD hardening: 300+ singleton sites removed; PluginID enum; DisplayPrioritizer; @Observable migration.
  • Performance: Background service backoff, AnyView elimination, GPU/CoreAnimation gating, high-frequency leaf view isolation.
