Overview

Asmens is a lightweight native macOS app that turns the notch into an interactive island. Hover over it for your music, drop files on it, follow a timer or a download, and get alerts without leaving what you are doing. On displays without a notch it becomes a floating pill in the menu bar. It works locally: there are no accounts and no telemetry, and every permission is optional. The name comes from the Lithuanian word for a blade.
