About MewNotch
MewNotch replaces the stock volume and brightness overlays with indicators that grow out of the notch on newer MacBooks. Expanding the notch reveals more: a file shelf that persists across restarts, now-playing controls with a seek bar, power source details, a camera mirror and the output of custom shell commands.
Most features have their own settings, and the notch can stay visible on the lock screen. Releases are distributed as disk images on GitHub and through the developer's Homebrew tap.
