Privacy Policy

􀀽

Accessibility

Required for Media Controls. NotchBar needs this permission solely to interact with Apple Music and Spotify. No user interactions are logged or transmitted.

  • Open System Settings
  • Go to Privacy & Security > Accessibility
  • Toggle NotchBar ON
􀡊

Screen Recording

Required for Screenshots. NotchBar only uses this to capture the specific areas you select. All images are processed locally on your machine.

􀇿 Permission Update Tip:

To keep your Mac secure, macOS requires a fresh "handshake" after every update for safety-critical apps. If features like screenshots fail after updating, simply Remove (-) and Re-Add (+) NotchBar in System Settings to refresh the local security record.

Zero Data Collection: NotchBar does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All processing happens entirely on your Mac. No analytics, no tracking, no exceptions.
