A few steps, then you’re in
Install Golden Notch.
01 — Download
Get the latest DMG using the button above.
02 — Move to Applications
Open the DMG, drag Golden Notch into Applications, then eject the DMG.
03 — Make it yours
Launch the app and grant the permissions for the modules you want to use.
First launch: Apple may block opening the app.
Golden Notch is not signed with an Apple Developer ID and is not notarized by Apple. If you choose to trust your download, try opening it, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway and confirm. This is separate from calendar, camera and other module permissions.

Apple Silicon only. Targets macOS 14.2 or later; some libraries and device features require newer versions. Current validation was performed on macOS 27 beta, so full functionality on earlier versions is not guaranteed. No Intel build is available.
Coming next / In development
Your own tools. In your notch.
A custom plug-in architecture is planned so you can install extensions you code yourself and personalize Golden Notch further. It is not available yet; documentation will follow when it is ready.
How do updates work?
The built-in updater delivers new versions without reinstalling a DMG. With automatic checking enabled, it checks at launch and daily. You can also check in Settings → Updates. After relaunch, release notes explain what changed. Updates are included with your lifetime license.
How do I activate my purchase?
Buy through Settings → Account & License. Stripe processes the payment; your license appears after purchase and arrives by email. Paste your license and purchase email into the app. Two simultaneous Macs are included.
Why might a device or media source be missing?
Golden Notch uses information provided by macOS, your apps and devices. Available media controls, battery readings, network details and sensors vary. Missing permissions can also limit a module.
Prefer it all black?
You can turn off Liquid Glass in the app settings and keep the fully black look. Choose full black, black with glass, or full Liquid Glass on an external display.
