Changelog

What changed in each version. Newest first.

1.1 2026-06-27

Notch content now respects the physical camera dead zone. The collapsed pill widens to show Dynamic Island–style ears when a session is active: pulsing dot in the left ear, live timer in the right ear. Content never renders behind the camera lens.
Notch shape polished: flat top edge (screen-flush), convex rounded bottom corners — removes corner-wedge artifacts on real hardware.
Paywall subtitle copy strengthened to make the lifetime model clearer.

First App Store release.

Opt-in crash reporting via Sentry (off by default). New Settings → Privacy & Diagnostics tab with a single toggle and a clear disclosure of what's sent and what's never sent.
In-app update checker: pings notch.rocks/version.json once every 24 hours. Anonymous single GET, no behavior data. Toggleable in Settings → Privacy.

Quit Notch is now available from the menu-bar left-click menu (previously required right-click / Cmd+Q).
Paywall recovers gracefully when StoreKit is slow to load products.
Self-updater removed to comply with Mac App Store distribution guidelines (App Store handles all updates).

First public-facing build. Pre-launch.

Menubar-fallback mode for non-notch Macs is functional but not a launch marketing surface
No Apple Watch app, no iCloud sync, no team features (by design)
