Before you begin.

Are notch apps included?+

No. Install your preferred notch apps separately, then add them to NotchSwitcher.

Which permissions are needed?+

NotchSwitcher uses Accessibility permission to identify targets and handle input, and Screen Recording permission to capture previews. It does not record audio.

Does every app work with it?+

You can add valid local apps, but registration does not guarantee compatibility with notch interactions. Compatibility is not guaranteed for every app or version.

What happens to the previous app?+

NotchSwitcher requests a normal quit, waits for the app to close, then launches the next app. Music, notifications and other activity in the previous app also stop. Launch time and state restoration depend on each app.

Are the previews live?+

No. Previews show captured and saved still images. If an image is unavailable, the switcher displays the app’s icon and name.

ONE PLACE. MORE POSSIBILITIES.

Which notch is next?

Free to download. Switching is a ¥500 one-time in-app purchase. No monthly fee.

NotchSwitcher 0.1.1

Download and get started

Downloading NotchSwitcher itself is free.
Before buying, you can still browse your registered apps and their previews. Actually switching to another notch app requires an in-app purchase (¥500 once, no subscription) or a distributed free pass. Purchases are never made on this website — the app's own license screen opens Stripe's checkout in your browser.
