Boring Notch is a macOS menubar-style app that turns the MacBook notch into a dynamic music control center with a visualizer, plus calendar integration, a file shelf with AirDrop support, and a HUD replacement. It is written in Swift and requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
Use cases
- turn macbook notch into music player controls
- replace macos hud with a nicer one
- airdrop files quickly from the notch shelf
- show calendar events in the macbook notch
- add a music visualizer to the notch
When to choose
- you have a MacBook with a notch and want to make it functional
- you want quick music controls and a visualizer at the top of your screen
- you want a free, open-source alternative to notch utilities like NotchNook
When to avoid
- you use a Mac without a notch or run macOS older than 14 Sonoma
- you need a signed app from an Apple Developer account without bypassing Gatekeeper
- you want a cross-platform or Windows/Linux utility
