Every sale, live in your MacBook’s notch

About the project
Soldbell is a Mac app I designed and built that puts every sale in your MacBook’s notch. When someone buys from you, the notch drops down with the amount and a chime - Gumroad, Lemon Squeezy, Stripe, Shopify themes and Framer Marketplace, added up in one place.
Celebration is the product
Sellers check dashboards all day for news that is mostly good. Soldbell turns that checking into a moment: the sale comes to you, in the one part of the screen that is always visible and never in the way.
The rule I designed to was simple: never put an upsell in a win moment. The free plan keeps every celebration and every share card, so the thing that makes people talk about the app never switches off.
In the real notch
This is the built app on a MacBook, firing on a Framer remix of one of my own templates. A single remix widens the notch for a moment; three in quick succession are grouped into one; then it settles back to today’s total, sitting either side of the camera.
Three sizes of good news
Not every event deserves the same noise. Remixes, likes and small sales widen the notch for three seconds with a soft tick. A sale drops in with the amount, the product and a two-note chime. The first sale of the day, an outlier or a goal gets a taller drop and a three-note chime.
Moments that arrive close together are grouped, and anything that lands during Focus, a call or screen sharing waits and plays as one catch-up.
Every store, one number
Each platform connects with its own key or login, read-only, and stays on the Mac. Sales in other currencies are converted at the day’s rate, so the total in the notch is the real total. The free plan covers one store; Pro is a one-time $19 that covers every other.
Made to be shared
One click turns a win into a card for X: a framed card with the number, or with amounts hidden for people who keep revenue private. Win and Day cards are free; Week, Month, Milestone and Streak come with Pro. The card is how most people will hear about the app, so it never carries an upsell.
What I designed and built
- 01Three sizes of moment - a glance, a drop and a big one - with grouping and catch-up after Focus
- 02A hover panel with today across every platform, refunds and failed payments included
- 03Share cards for a win, a day, a week, a month, a milestone or a streak, with amounts optionally hidden
- 04Onboarding, connecting a store, settings and a menu bar fallback for Macs without a notch
- 05The native Mac app in Swift, with keys kept in the Keychain and no server
- 06The landing page, with a live notch demo that plays real moments
