About Boring Notch
Boring Notch uses the area around the MacBook notch for a compact set of everyday controls. Playback controls, a file shelf with AirDrop, calendar integration, and optional system overlays share the same surface.
Its settings adjust sizing and interaction behavior. The upstream releases and documentation distinguish available features from the project's roadmap.
