NotchCafe 1.4.25

Developer ID signed and Apple-notarized NotchCafe release, preserving app identity and user data. Versions 1.4.24 and earlier require a one-time manual DMG upgrade because the user authorized a new update-signing key after the original root could not be recovered. Future updates from the new-key release use verified signed feeds and archives; no verification bypass is provided.
