FAQ
What is MyNotchBar?
MyNotchBar is a Mac notch utility that helps you stay focused, and it is already on the Mac App Store. It can park files, show clipboard history, control Apple Music and Spotify, play web music through the bundled Safari extension, and use the camera as a mirror. The panel unfolds from the notch and also runs in the menu bar.
Can I use it on a Mac without a notch?
Yes, any Mac running macOS 13 or later can use it. Macs without a notch also support a custom notch style.
What makes MyNotchBar different from other notch apps?
MyNotchBar is built to keep you focused rather than to do everything. It sticks to a few notch tools: files, clipboard history, music controls, and a camera mirror. It is designed to feel like a native Apple app on macOS 13 or later, and costs US$3.99 once on the Mac App Store. The comparison page lists the differences with other apps. Read the comparison
How do I use Mirror?
Open Mirror in the notch to see a live camera preview. The fill light is a glow at the edge of the panel, adjusted with an arc slider, and it does not change system brightness. If no camera is available, the panel still opens and says it is temporarily unavailable. Read the mirror guide
Is there a subscription?
No subscription is required. MyNotchBar is a one-time Mac App Store purchase: US$3.99, available in 178 countries. A membership you already pay for Apple Music or Spotify is separate from that price. The actual price follows your local App Store.
What stays on this Mac?
Files you drag into the notch stay on that Mac and are not uploaded. Clipboard history stays on the device as well. The camera is used only while the Mirror panel is open, and that preview is not uploaded or recorded. MyNotchBar does not send those files, clipboard items, or the camera image to a server.
Which music apps can it control?
On the Mac, MyNotchBar can control Apple Music and the Spotify desktop app. The bundled Safari extension can also connect to Apple Music, Spotify, NetEase Cloud Music, and QQ Music on the web. Seeking and volume on the web depend on that player.
What does my Mac need?
MyNotchBar requires macOS 13 or later. It is built for the MacBook notch: the panel stays at the top of the screen and unfolds from the notch, and it also runs in the menu bar. English is the default. The app switches to Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, or German when that is the system language.
