DynamicNotch v27.5

What's new

Liquid Glass notch (macOS 26+)

• Optional Liquid Glass background for the expanded notch: solid black around the camera, melting into glass toward the bottom. Turn it on in Settings → Appearance.
• New layered app icon.

Fan control

• Thermal daemon update required. If you've installed fan control, DynamicNotch will prompt you to update the daemon on launch. Please do. Upcoming fan features depend on the new daemon and won't work with the old one. The update installs directly, with no copy/paste into Terminal.
• Fans are not driven while a daemon update is pending, so fan control stays off until you update.
• Smoother fan ramp-down: no more instant speed drop at the bottom of the curve, and fans ramp down before handing control back to macOS.
• Manual fan floor setting, and the floor is no longer clamped.
• Fixed a fan-safety gap, and fixed Full Disk Access detection.

Extensions

• New picker-based rule builder.
• Rules can have unlimited exit rules; the entry rule must fire before an exit rule can.
• Armed state now persists across relaunches.
• Fixed prerequisite/gate logic errors. Extensions that fail to save are quarantined instead of silently dropped.

AI usage

• Dropdown pickers for the usage percentage settings.
• Fixed Claude usage windows resetting incorrectly because of small timing jitter in the reported reset time.

Diagnostics

• Better logging and a smoother flow for attaching logs to bug reports.
