Notch Mode#

Notch Mode anchors your bar inside the display notch area at the top of the screen. On MacBooks with a notch, the bar splits around the physical notch. On external displays, ExtraBar creates a centered "virtual notch" area instead.

Setting up Notch Mode#

1. Open ExtraBar → Settings (⚙) → Position
2. Select the Notch card

You can also toggle it from the ExtraBar app menu with Enable Notch Mode (⌘N).

Options#

When Notch is selected, these options appear below the position picker:

• Background — Choose Solid or Floating for the notch bar background.
• Size — Small, Medium, or Large.
• Auto-hide — The bar hides automatically and reappears when you hover the notch area. Auto-hide is exclusive to Notch Mode.
• Show on All Screens — Display the notch bar on every connected monitor.
• Display picker — When "Show on All Screens" is off, choose which screen the bar appears on.

Keyboard navigation#

Keyboard navigation works in Notch Mode just like in the other positions — see Keyboard Navigation.
