TopNotch is a small macOS utility designed to address the visual disruption caused by the camera notch on recent MacBook Pro models. It works by creating a black menu bar, effectively concealing the notch and providing a more uniform and less distracting screen appearance.
Key Features:
- Notch Concealment: The primary function is to hide the notch by making the menu bar black, blending it with the display's bezel.
- Dynamic Wallpaper Support: It seamlessly integrates with macOS's dynamic desktop wallpapers, adjusting the menu bar color accordingly.
- Multi-Display Compatibility: TopNotch functions correctly across multiple displays and virtual spaces.
- Background Operation: The application runs in the background, automatically detecting and adapting to wallpaper changes.
- Rounded Corners (Optional): Users can enable rounded corners on their wallpapers for a more aesthetically pleasing look.
Use Cases:
- Improved Visual Experience: For users who find the notch distracting, TopNotch offers a simple solution to minimize its visual impact.
- Consistent Aesthetics: It helps maintain a consistent look across the display, especially when using dark mode or wallpapers with dark top sections.
- Enhanced Focus: By removing a potential distraction, TopNotch can contribute to a more focused working environment.
TopNotch is a free application, making it an accessible option for any macOS user seeking to improve their display aesthetics.
