Firstly

zNotch is awesome! Thank you for it!

Although zNotch starts automatically on login, on each boot I have to execute

open 'xyz.kondor.znotch://v1/manage?action=hide'

To let zNotch do its thing. I think there is no benefit to have zNotch automatically start on login if its functionality (hiding the notch) does not automatically kicks in.

In zNotch settings, there is a place holder for Restore last state on login feature. Could you share when do you intend to support it?

Thank you very much for the software you developed, which has helped me to some extent.🥰
The issue of the status bar being higher than notch is troubling a number of macbook users, can you develop such a feature, just reduce the height of the status bar pixels to maintain the same height as notch.

For me, when the notch is shown, open 'xyz.kondor.znotch://v1/manage?action=toggle' will hide it. Invoking the command again does not show the notch again. In addition the "Show Notch" menu item is dimmed. Please let me know if you need additional diagnostics.

Hello @zkondor !

I'd like to contribute a thin wrapper function for command line calls. Where do I put it?

Here's the function:

znotch() {
  case $1 in
  "show"|"s")
    open 'xyz.kondor.znotch://v1/manage?action=show'
    ;;
  "hide"|"h")
    open 'xyz.kondor.znotch://v1/manage?action=hide'
    ;;
  "toggle"|"t")
    open 'xyz.kondor.znotch://v1/manage?action=toggle'
    ;;
  *)
    echo "Invalid action: $1"
    echo "Available actions: show, hide, toggle"
    exit 1
    ;;
  esac
}

The current icon takes is bigger the common icon that resides in the menu bar, and thus it occupies expensive menu bar real estate.

Do you have any thoughts on making it smaller (maybe only removing the zNotch writing in the icon)?

I use zNotch to temporarily show all menu bar icons hidden by the notch. So the fact that zNotch occupies so much menu bar space due to its wide icon is really counterproductive because it means even more other items will be hidden. Thanks for building zNotch!
