Boring Notch is an incredibly handy tool that I use all the time. The shelf feature, in particular, is amazing—it has made my daily tasks so much easier. I’m thrilled to have been a user of this software since its earliest stages. It’s a fantastic software created by genuinely lovely people who put so much care into it <3

Boring Notch makes amazing use of the notch space on MacBooks, which is normally really annoying. Can't believe I used to live without it!
