If you have a new MacBook Pro, you also have a new notch. Congratulations! Have you ever wondered what happens to your mouse while it's travelling underneath the notch? Notchmeister answers that question with exciting effects that take your Mac to a whole new dimension: ⁕ Glow - A cursor will light your way. ⁕ Cylon - By your command. ⁕ Plasma Leak - Your mouse can break down the magnetic containment field that keeps the M1‘s power in check! ⁕ Festive - Let your Mac celebrate the holidays the best way it can—in binary. ⁕ Nano Radar - Our patented invention lets you know exactly where your mouse has gone. Notchmeister is also small and unobtrusive, both visually and with system resources. It's fun, but doesn't get in your way while you work. And for those of you without a new MacBook Pro, Notchmeister also includes a genuine replacement notch. Be warned that side effects of this feature include making you want a new Mac even more than you already do. Sorry.
Saw this on MacBreak Weekly
A bit of fun for my Macbook Pro. Love this. For the times when I get a little too close to the notch. Not sure if you can set it to dangle there all the time, but it's still nice.
Had to force shut down.
It's very clever and did really dig the idea. The Cylon and Glow modes grab the mouse briefly (super cute idea!). Unfortunately, Glow grabbed it and I couldn't get it back. Bad possisioning I guess, but I'm all over the screen normally, and don't want to risk that while I'm in the middle of a project. Had to force shut down. I'm sure it's and easy fix, but its not convenient for me.
Love it
Reminds me of a time in the past when whimsy iin software was more commonplace than it is today. I have no problem with the notch as it is, but this app adds a little sparkle that makes me smile - especially when I'm working on something and my cursor unexpectedly hits the notch. Thank you Iconfactory! PS: I love Tot as well. Use it every day on every device.
Fun
A funny extension for a Mac with a notch. Cheers.

What is the purpose of this app
Just Fun
I just really appreciate talented developers who can find some fun in the small things.. Thank you for sharing with the rest of us.. Definatly makes me smile. :)
Pretty cool
Thankfully I don't have one of the "new" Macbooks with that dreadful notch. Tried this on my Macbook Pro M1 and found it cringy to see that ugly notch. I am so glad that this was just software, and the software made it at least fun to use. Would like to see more themes but the ones it does have are pretty cool. If I ever become stupid and buy a Macbook Pro with that ugly notch I will definitely download this app again. Just wanted to check to see if this would make the notch less ugly and it did the trick. Great job.
