The Boring notch is the best open source project for Mac both my team and I have ever used. It improved team meeting attendance rate by over 63%.

Boring Notch is an incredibly handy tool. The shelf feature, in particular, is amazing—it has made my daily tasks so much easier.

I love the intuitive design, the smoothness and the ability to add on a non-notch Mac is the piece de resistance. Absolute Perfection.

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!
