What's great

lightweight (1)open source (1)free version (1)

I really like that the whole code is availabel on GitHub so we can either contribute or fix things ourselves. The fact that it's free, lightweight, and just works is also great.

What needs improvement

It's not as pretty as say Alcove or NotchNook so maybe some of the design elements. But tbh, it's fine as is!

vs Alternatives

NotchNook

Alcove

I used to use NotchNook but ran into issues, mostly that it was taking a large chunk of resources from my Computer. I was going to switch to Alcove but it was missing the Airdrop and shelf function which I use a lot. I chose TheBoringNotch because it was a) Open Source b) Had all the main features I used from NotchNook and c) Free!

Is the AirDrop file shelf reliable for transfers?

It is! I use this feature quite a lot.

Do battery and charging indicators refresh in real time?

Yes! Pretty responsive.

Any conflicts with existing menu bar utilities?

No conflicts, works really well.
