## What it is
A macOS utility that turns the MacBook notch into a Dynamic Island-style drop zone for temporarily storing files and launching AirDrop. It is a free, open-source Swift app built with Xcode.

## Use cases
- temporarily stash files by dragging them to the macbook notch
- airdrop files quickly from the notch
- keep files for a day then auto-delete
- open recently dropped files with one click
- free open-source alternative to notchnook

## When to choose
- you have a MacBook with a notch and want quick drag-and-drop file staging
- you want built-in AirDrop access from the notch
- you prefer a free, open-source, privacy-focused tool

## When to avoid
- your Mac has no notch
- you need long-term file storage rather than temporary holding
- you need deep customization like NotchNook offers
