If you search for headphones connected mac hud, you are usually trying to solve one problem: stay informed without opening five extra apps. Korinotch puts that information in the MacBook notch — the one screen area that is always visible.
How Korinotch handles audio output HUD
Korinotch is a native SwiftUI notch utility. audio output HUD runs locally on your Mac with smooth expand/collapse animations that match macOS — not a floating web panel.
- Visual feedback when audio output changes
- Smooth notch expansion before showing controls
- Avoids overlapping popups when notch is expanded
- Part of the Media HUD system
Why the notch beats the menu bar
Menu bar icons compete for space on the right. The notch sits center-top — perfect for glances during calls, coding, or design work. Korinotch expands on hover or when an event triggers (playback, alerts, sensors).
Getting started
Enable audio output HUD in Korinotch settings, then hover the notch to preview. You can combine it with other modules (music HUD, clipboard, weather, football scores) in one command center.
