Could you build this?
Partial While macOS menu bar apps are straightforward, building interactive notch overlays requires reverse engineering undocumented AppKit/CoreGraphics APIs and handling tricky multi-display edge cases.
What it would actually take: A functional native notch utility requires Swift with low-level AppKit window management, subscribing to `NSWindow.Level`, CoreGraphics display hardware reconfiguration events, and accessing private framework APIs to measure the precise hardware camera housing bounding box. It requires deep macOS systems development knowledge to prevent flickering, battery drain, and screen capture artifacts.
