Notch Tabbar
Tab bar with a round notch cut into its outline that springs to the active tab and carries the icon on a lifted disc, with an accent hairline along the cut.
Paste it into Claude Code: it installs the component, asks for your brand and content, and places it on the page you name.
Live demo. Move the mouse and scroll inside it.
Install
Or by hand, in a Next.js project with shadcn set up. It writes components/pastetaste/notch-tabbar.tsx.
npx shadcn@latest add https://pastetaste.com/r/notch-tabbar.jsonDependenciesmotion@^12.23.0
Prompt
Install the pastetaste component "Notch Tabbar" (notch-tabbar) into this Next.js project and use it.
What it is: Tab bar with a round notch cut into its outline that springs to the active tab and carries the icon on a lifted disc, with an accent hairline along the cut.
Before you place it, ask me (one short message, in my language; "skip" = sensible default): which page and section it goes in, my brand colour (hex), the text, labels or images it should show, and whether I want my logo or my own copy in the demo content. Then:
Steps:
1. If the project has no components.json, run: npx shadcn@latest init -y -d. Then run: npx shadcn@latest add https://pastetaste.com/r/notch-tabbar.json
(it writes components/pastetaste/notch-tabbar.tsx; install any npm packages it reports: motion@^12.23.0).
2. Import it: import { NotchTabbar } from "@/components/pastetaste/notch-tabbar" (check the file for the exact named export).
3. Put it where it fits on the page I name, keep the rest of the page untouched, and pass props for my colours instead of editing the installed file.
4. It does not depend on Tailwind; colours come from CSS variables (--pt-*) or props.
5. It supports prefers-reduced-motion with a still state; do not remove it.
Props (all optional unless the type has no default):
- items: { id: string; label: string; icon: ReactNode; href?: string; badge?: boolean | number }[] — Tabs in order, three to six work best. A boolean badge is a dot, a number is a count. With href a tab renders as a link.
- value: string — Active tab id for controlled use.
- defaultValue: string = items[0].id — Starting tab id when uncontrolled.
- onChange: (id: string, item: NotchTab) => void — Called when a different tab is chosen.
- tone: 'ink' | 'paper' = 'ink' — Black bar or white bar.
- accent: string = var(--pt-accent, #ff4a2e) — The one accent: the disc, the hairline along the notch and the badge.
- speed: number = 1 — Spring pace; 2 is twice as quick.
- label: string = 'Primary' — Accessible name of the navigation landmark.

Then run the dev server, check it in the browser at desktop and mobile width, and tell me the page URL.Props 8
