deskNode agents · on your Mac
A team of agents that works while you're away, and asks before it acts.
The notch, put to work.
Hover it and it opens. Move away and it gets out of the way.
It looks back
Open it and a pair of eyes follow your cursor around the screen.
Now playing, without switching
Whatever is playing, from any app — pause, skip or scrub from the top of the screen.
Focus, one click away
Pick 15, 45 or 60 minutes. The notch shrinks to a countdown, and opens into a timer you can pause or stop.
Claude Code, at a glance
What each session is working on and whether it is done — with its terminal one click away.
Tells you before it's too late
A low battery stays in the notch until you plug in — not a banner that's gone in five seconds.
Three keys, from anywhere.
No window to find and nothing to click. D-Node opens over whatever you're doing, and gets out of the way when you're done.
Talk to it
Hold Fn and speak. Let go, and it's sent — no typing, no clicking send.
Try it — press and hold the key.
Point at it
Hold Option and hover over anything on screen. D-Node outlines it; let go, and the notch opens with a question about just that.
Try it — hold Option and point at the mountains.Tap a peak to try it.
Esc closes it. If holding Fn also opens the emoji picker, set System Settings → Keyboard → “Press 🌐 key to” → Do Nothing.
Nodes for everything you do
From meetings and mail to music, focus, tickets, deploys, and the ones you build yourself.
Meetings & Calendar
See what's next, join in one click, and get the notes back when it's over.
Inbox & Messages
Triage what came in and draft the replies. Nothing sends without your OK.
Focus & Planning
Plan the day, run focus sessions, and keep your tasks one hover away.
Music & Media
Control what's playing without leaving what you're working on.
Developer
Bug reports become tickets while you stay heads-down. You approve before anything is filed.
Build your own
Clone the template, connect the services you use, and shape the notch around how you work.
A whole app behind the notch.
The notch is what you glance at. Behind it, everything it reports from.
Your day, at a glance
Priorities, what you left off, today's schedule and a focus streak — the first thing you see.
Everything arrives in one place.
Mail, calendar, tickets, payouts and deploys — one notch instead of a dozen tabs, badges and dock bounces.

FAQ
A companion for your Mac that lives in the notch. It sits at the top of the screen you are already looking at, shows you what is going on, and takes an instruction — without a window to open or a tab to switch to.
