NotchKit is a Swift library that hides the iPhone X notch by rendering apps as a card-like interface on the OLED display. It provides a drop-in NotchKitWindow replacement for the standard UIWindow.

Use cases

  • hide the notch on iPhone X in my iOS app
  • create a card-style UI around the iPhone X notch
  • make my app render as a card on OLED iPhone X
  • drop-in UIWindow replacement that masks the notch
  • support iPhone X display in a legacy iOS app

When to choose

  • building an iOS app targeting iPhone X with a card-like notch-hiding aesthetic
  • you want a minimal one-line window swap instead of custom notch handling

When to avoid

  • targeting modern iOS versions where notch handling is built into UIKit
  • starting a new project - the library is unmaintained since 2020 and Swift 4 era
  • apps needing Dynamic Island or safe-area-aware layouts
