The OmniNotch Alternative With Agents and a Flat Price

If you’re looking for an OmniNotch alternative, Brim is the closest match with more on top. You get clipboard history, a file shelf with AirDrop, Now Playing, sales, AI usage, timers, a teleprompter and a camera mirror, like OmniNotch. Then Brim runs your coding agents and chats on the ChatGPT or Claude plan you already pay for. It’s $4.99, once, not a sale that ends.
