on restart

I am grateful for the ability of this app to remove the notch on my Macbook Pro. The only slight glitch is that when I restart, the notch reappears even though the program still shows that it is turned on and the notch off. Only when I turn it off and back on again does the notch disappear again. I tried selecting "always disable notch," but this doesn't work. Is there a way to apply the program even when the computer is restarted?

This program is essential, and works flawlessly.

It is an incredible little program and does exactly what it says it will do! It is lightweight, and disables the notch in a way I never would've thought of doing before, very innovative!

My one question: you can enable 'double clicking the black area to disable the notch', is there any way you can enable the reverse too? So if I want to disable the notch for a period of time by double clicking it and then I want to enable it again, I can double click it and it'll toggle it back on again? I feel like this feature is sorely missing, unless it's there and I just don't see it! Being able to double click as a two-way toggle rather than a one-way toggle would make the program even more seamless! Please do!

But anyway, thank you for such a marvelous program! I know that if I ever need to disable the notch, I now can! Awesome! :D

P.S., how can I donate to you, developers?

It Actually Works

This is the only application I’ve found that properly and reliably ‘eliminates’ the stupid notch, giving me back some space for my Menu Bar applets. It does what it says and it does it well. The developer is very helpful and responsive, which is always appreciated. Also, the UI is an amusing treat for those who miss when Apple’s software had style.
