Oreo Features Price FAQ

For MacBooks with a notch

The notch, put to work.

Oreo turns the dead space around your camera into something useful — live activities as they happen, and a desk of widgets a click away.

Version 0.1.0 · macOS 15 Sequoia or later · Apple Silicon · Notarised by Apple

Oreo's Desk open below the notch, showing a music player, a to-do list, a calendar prompt and app shortcuts.

The Desk — your widgets, one click from the notch.

What it does

Everything at the top of the screen.

Now playing

Artwork, scrubber and transport for whatever's playing — Music, Spotify, a browser tab. Swipe across the notch to skip.

A shelf that AirDrops

Drop files on the notch to park them. Hold one there and it splits into lanes — keep, AirDrop, compress, convert, zip.

Volume, brightness, battery

System HUDs replaced with something that belongs to the screen instead of floating in the middle of it.

Calendar & to-dos

Your next event, with the Zoom or Meet link pulled out of it. To-dos that sync to your other Mac over iCloud.

Clipboard history

Everything you've copied, one click from putting it back. Passwords are never recorded — concealed clips are skipped.

Yours to arrange

Pick the widgets, set their widths, reorder them. Weather, timers, notes, shortcuts, a webcam mirror and app launchers.

Live activities

It tells you, then gets out of the way.

  • Volume and brightness, with the system HUD suppressed
  • AirPods connecting, with battery for each side
  • Focus changes, charging, timers finishing
  • A calendar nudge a few minutes before you're due

Questions

Before you download.

Do I need a notch?

Yes for the real thing. On a Mac without one, Oreo draws its own handle at the top of the screen and everything else works the same.

Which Macs?

Apple Silicon running macOS 15 Sequoia or later. There's no Intel build.

What does it need permission for?

Only what you switch on. Accessibility to replace the volume and brightness HUDs, Bluetooth for AirPods battery, Calendar for events, Location for weather, Camera for the mirror. Each one is asked for the first time you use that feature, never at launch.

Does it phone home?

No analytics and no account. Your to-dos and notes sync through your own iCloud, which we can't read. The clipboard history and the file shelf never leave the Mac they're on.

What happens after the trial?

Seven days with everything switched on, and nothing to enter up front. After that the live activities and the Desk need a licence — $12, paid once, for every Mac you own.

How do updates work?

Oreo checks with Apple's notarised update mechanism and asks before installing anything. It never updates silently.
