Install

1. Download Notchy.dmg from Releases
2. Open the DMG and drag Notchy.app into Applications
3. Open Terminal and run:

   xattr -cr /Applications/Notchy.app

4. Launch Notchy from Applications

The xattr command removes the macOS quarantine flag. This is required because the app is not signed with an Apple Developer certificate ($99/year).

Updates are automatic — check from Settings inside the app.
