Name: TheBoringNotch
Rating: 4.0 (1 reviews)

Boring Notch transforms your Mac’s notch into a smart mini‑dock: music controls with album art and visualizer, a file shelf with AirDrop, upcoming calendar events, quick mirror for camera checks, and battery/charging indicators that feels native to the Mac.

I really like that the whole code is availabel on GitHub so we can either contribute or fix things ourselves. The fact that it's free, lightweight, and just works is also great.

It's not as pretty as say Alcove or NotchNook so maybe some of the design elements. But tbh, it's fine as is!

I used to use NotchNook but ran into issues, mostly that it was taking a large chunk of resources from my Computer. I was going to switch to Alcove but it was missing the Airdrop and shelf function which I use a lot. I chose TheBoringNotch because it was a) Open Source b) Had all the main features I used from NotchNook and c) Free!
