The Community ❤️ us

The Boring notch is the best open source project for Mac both my team and I have ever used. When team members were asked what increased their workflow, 46% answered Boring Notch. It improved team meeting attendance rate by over 63%. After seeing these numbers the team decided to make Boring Notch one of our top recommended software's for our Apple ecosystem team members. The Boring Notch features an amazing colander display along with current media playing. It’s a simple setup and doesn't require any hassle. The Boring Team has done an outstanding job not only with their development but with the overall project.

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
