This app hides notch from MacBook Pro (2021)
In 2021, not only the iPhone, but also the MacBook has a notch. The latest MacBook Pro (which comes in 14 and 16 inch format) has a notch, also called a notch, right at the top of the screen. According to Apple, this is a handy way to hide the camera, because you have a relatively large screen at your disposal.
However, not everyone is happy with the notch. You could therefore set the clock that someone would come up with a trick to brush the bite off the screen, and that has now happened.
The aptly named TopNotch app camouflages the MacBook Pro’s notch by blackening the entire menu bar. You can still use the buttons in this bar, because only the color changes. So you do not give up any functionality or screen space.
TopNotch is a free app and is made by MakeTheWeb. For example, this company has also made CleanShot, a handy program for taking screen recordings on your Mac. You need at least macOS Big Sur (11.0) to download TopNotch.
