What it does

Live progress

See how far along your current event is, at a glance.

Invisible at rest

The notch stays black until you hover. No clutter, no menu-bar icon.

Barely there

~0% CPU while collapsed. Your battery won't notice it's running.

Install

  1. Download NotchBar.dmg and open it.
  2. Drag NotchBar into your Applications folder.
  3. Open NotchBar. macOS blocks it the first time — that's expected.
  4. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, then click “Open Anyway” and confirm.

macOS blocks it only because NotchBar isn't notarized by Apple yet — it's safe, just unsigned. You do this once; afterwards it opens with a normal double-click.
