NotchOwl vs Tickari

NotchOwl turns the empty space around a MacBook notch into a hover activated panel for tasks, voice capture, a focus timer, notes and upcoming meetings.

Tickari keeps daily tasks, quick notes and checklists in a calm web app, with push and email reminders plus an optional public profile page for sharing lists.

About NotchOwl

NotchOwl is a Mac utility that places a planner in the screen area around the MacBook notch, opened by hovering or by pressing Option N. It is pitched as a task manager for people with ADHD: spoken or typed thoughts become sorted tasks, and a focus timer keeps attention on one item. It also stores screenshots, shows meetings with quick joining, offers a weekly view for dragging tasks between days, and displays progress insights. Tasks sync to iPhone and Apple Watch through Apple Reminders, external monitors get their own notch, and Claude can push plans into it. Planner data stays on the Mac. An early bird lifetime license costs 12 USD for up to three Macs.

About Tickari

Tickari is a lightweight task manager meant for people who keep abandoning complicated productivity systems. Users add a task, tick it off and move on, optionally attaching a short note, an image or a checklist converted from a note, in the style of Google Keep. Desktop users can rearrange items by dragging, while mobile users see a simple grid. Reminders arrive by push notification when enabled and by email. Sign in is handled through Convex Auth. Personal use is free, and Tickari Pro, bought once, adds a custom subdomain and a public profile page for sharing lists, though its price is not stated on the pricing page.
