Gojo is a premium utility application by an indie developer who goes by rohoswagger. It is a unique toolkit designed to replace specific apps and system functions, and it removes the need to have multiple individual utilities installed. The most interesting part is that it does all of that from the display notches on Macs. Newcomers can check out the free trial for a preview.

Mini control center

In a nutshell, Gojo serves as a flexible workspace that replaces popular utility apps with its own implementation and a unified interface to do everything. It also happens to live inside your screen notch, making it accessible any time, no matter what you’re doing. It offers six core functions, namely Dictation, Media Controls, Clipboard, a Window Switcher, a File Shelf, and a Night Mode feature.

Much like your notch, it runs on top of everything, and you can quickly navigate to it with a simple mouse hover. You can also customize it and enable only the tools you need for a cleaner, organized experience. Now, as handy as these tools are, some of them are on the basic side and lack advanced features that the apps it’s trying to replace have.

Handy but supplementary

On the one hand, Gojo is a clever solution to the problem of juggling multiple utility apps by providing an all-in-one toolkit that replaces them, and the tools do work quite well. On the other hand, though, it takes a simpler approach and foregoes some of the advanced features that power users will look for. The choice depends on what type of user you are.
