Creator kit
What you need to show NotchPixel in a video, a stream or a post: clips to cut into your edit, a 60-second segment to rewrite in your own words, the lines to say on screen, and what to call it.
What the kit is for
It is for partners and for anyone making a video about NotchPixel. Use the clips and the script in videos, streams, Shorts and posts about NotchPixel: cut them, crop them, zoom in, change the speed and talk over them. You do not have to use any of it, and nothing here is required to keep your licence.
Say what you actually think. Showing free alternatives next to it is fine.
Clips
Nine silent clips, 1920 x 1080, 30 fps, H.264 MP4, 6 to 8 seconds each. They are screen recordings of NotchPixel on a Windows 10 laptop from September 2026, so small details can differ from the version in the Store today.
The card opens
The pointer rests on the notch and the card opens, with the date, a focus timer, the weather and the PC's CPU, GPU and RAM. It moves away and the card closes.

A PDF is dragged from File Explorer to the top of the screen. The shelf opens, takes it and keeps it there, with Send to phone and Receive.
Download shelf-drop.mp4 7 s, 2.8 MBSend to phone
The QR code that sends the file to a phone on the same Wi-Fi, with no app and no account on the phone. Cut it after the shelf clip, then show your own phone opening the file.

The volume changes, then the charger goes in. Each shows as a short pop-up at the top centre and goes away on its own.

Clipboard history opens with the last two things copied from Notepad, and the link is pinned so it stays.

The chat drawer opens and lines from Twitch and YouTube arrive in one list. The names and messages are the app's built-in sample, not real viewers.

On a call the timer runs at the top centre. Ctrl+Alt+M mutes the microphone in every app, and the pill turns red and says so.

While music plays, the notch shows the album art. Resting the pointer on it opens the track with play, pause and skip.

A video export shows its size and speed at the top centre, then Export done. After that the colour picker copies a colour's hex code.

Not in the kit: the FPS, CPU, GPU and RAM strip in a fullscreen game, and the REC pill for OBS Studio. Record those on your own PC, in your own game and with your own OBS. If the strip does not show, the support page explains why.
Your own recordings beat ours: a real phone on the same Wi-Fi receiving a file and a real call being muted are worth more on camera than any clip here.
A 60-second segment
A script to rewrite in your own words. The times are a guide, and each step says what to show and what to say. Skip any step that does not fit your video.
-
0:00
Show: the notch at the top of your screen from the first second. Rest the pointer on it so the card opens. Clip: The card opens.
"This is NotchPixel, a notch for Windows. Rest the pointer on it and it opens. Move away and it's gone."
-
0:06
Show: Task Manager with NotchPixel at idle, or the numbers on notchpixel.com/footprint.
"At idle it uses about 13 megabytes in Task Manager and 0% CPU. That's version 0.5.64, measured on 3 October 2026, and the method is on notchpixel.com/footprint."
If you measure your own copy, say your own number with your version and the date.
-
0:15
Show: a file dragged to the top of the screen, the QR code, then your phone on the same Wi-Fi opening the file. Clips: A file onto the shelf, Send to phone.

-

-

Show: the Microsoft Store page. On screen: Windows 10 (version 2004 and later) and Windows 11, x64. $9.99 once in the US.
"It runs on Windows 10 and 11. It's $9.99 once in the Microsoft Store, with no subscription and no account, and the Store installs and updates it. My licence was free, and the link below is an affiliate link."
Outside the US, say the price your Store shows, or "one price, once, no subscription".
Say it on screen
Say in the video itself, out loud or on screen, that your licence was free and that your link is an affiliate link. A line in the description alone is not enough, and on the partner program it is a condition of payout. Lines you can use as they are:
- "NotchPixel sent me this licence for free, and the link below is an affiliate link. If you buy through it, I get a share."Spoken, near the start of the segment
- Free licence from the developer. Affiliate link below.On-screen text, while NotchPixel is on screen
- "Quick reminder: my NotchPixel licence was free, and the link in chat is an affiliate link."Live streams: say it from time to time, not only at the start
- Affiliate link: notchpixel.com/r/yourcodeDescriptions, posts and newsletters, next to the link, or #ad where your platform asks for it
On YouTube, also tick the paid promotion box when you upload. If you give away your 5 viewer codes, do it by random draw with the giveaway rules template: free to enter, with no subscribe, like or follow needed.
What to call it
- Call it "a notch for Windows", or "NotchPixel, a notch for Windows 10 and 11".
- Write the name as one word with two capitals: NotchPixel.
- Keep "Dynamic Island", Apple logos, iPhones, MacBooks and other Apple imagery out of titles, thumbnails and tags. Show the notch on a Windows desktop instead; the press screenshots work as a base for a thumbnail.
- If you compare it with Apple's Dynamic Island in the video, say that NotchPixel is not made by Apple and is not affiliated with it.
Titles in this spirit: "I put a notch on my Windows PC", "A notch for Windows 11, one week in", "What a notch does on Windows 10".
What not to claim
- FPS gains, or anything above 60 fps. The strip shows numbers; it does not make games run faster.
- That it is safe with anti-cheat or never triggers it.
- "Virus-free". Say what is true instead: the Microsoft Store installs and updates it, and Microsoft signs the package.
- Memory or CPU figures without a version and date, or comparisons with a browser tab. Use the figures from /footprint with their version and date, or your own reading with yours.
- Committed memory as RAM use. Task Manager's Memory column is the figure to read. The much larger commit size is mostly graphics buffers that Direct3D reserves, not RAM in use.
- Any price other than the Store's. It is $9.99 once in the US, with no subscription; other markets show their own local price.
- That it is made by or works with Apple.
- Asking viewers for ratings or reviews, or rewarding anyone for one.
Screenshots and numbers
- Press kit: ten 1920 x 1080 screenshots, the logo and icon files, the fact sheet and the narrated film.
- Footprint: about 13 MB in Task Manager and 0% CPU at idle (version 0.5.64, 3 Oct 2026), measured over a 120-second sample, with the script to measure your own copy the same way.
- Support: system requirements, keyboard shortcuts and games.
