NexNotch — Dynamic Island for GNOME

NexNotch brings the iPhone Dynamic Island vibe to your GNOME desktop. A MacBook-notch-shaped pill replaces the top-bar clock and expands on hover into a tabbed productivity hub — built by NexVar. Tabs: System (live CPU/RAM/temp/network/battery), Calendar & Tasks (via GOA, no extra login), Weather (dual-city wttr.in), Pomodoro (presets + JSONL log), Stats (today/week chart/streak), Notes (sticky textarea), Shelf (file picker + optional Drive upload), Quick (privacy pills, BT batteries, kbd layout, DND, two-tap armed Log out/Reboot/Shutdown). Notification peek shows new notifications inside the pill — click to activate, optional banner suppression. Idle CPU < 0.1%, idle RAM < 15MB. Native GNOME Shell, pure JavaScript, no Electron. Wayland & X11 supported. 9-page Adw preferences window. GPL-3.0+.
