项目历史

Crest is a native macOS notch utility created by independent developer Zakaria Swaidan. Its published changelog records active releases from at least June 2026.

Crest 6, released in September 2026, redesigned the notch interface around customizable pages and widgets and added interactions for Claude Code, Codex, and GitHub Copilot CLI. The product later became part of a three-app suite with Take and Minutes.

采用历史

Crest is distributed directly by its developer and through Homebrew Cask. Its official site presents it as a consumer macOS utility with a free tier and a paid Pro tier rather than as an open-source project.

The official site publishes customer reviews and team licensing, but it does not provide enough evidence to characterize broad adoption quantitatively.

使用方式

Users open Crest from the display notch or top-of-screen pill and arrange widgets for media, calendar events, reminders, notes, files, clipboard history, weather, system status, and focus tools.

Optional integrations surface questions and command approvals from supported coding agents. Crest's free tier does not require an account; starting a Pro trial or unlocking a purchase requires signing in, but the official documentation does not publish a credentials-file location.

为什么软件包爱好者会关心

Crest represents the modern Homebrew Cask pattern of packaging a signed, notarized, self-updating proprietary macOS application. It also illustrates how desktop utilities increasingly integrate with command-line coding agents while retaining a native GUI distribution model.
