How to quit NotchStar
To quit NotchStar, click the star in the menu bar and choose Quit NotchStar. With that menu open you can also press Command Q. NotchStar has no Dock icon, so the menu bar star is the way to close it.
Steps
- Click the star in the menu bar.
- Choose Quit NotchStar.
The notch disappears right away.
What quitting does
- Clipboard history is cleared. It lives in memory only. See clipboard history clears on quit.
- The file shelf is cleared. It remembered where files were. The files themselves are not touched.
- If you turned on Show screenshots instantly, NotchStar puts the macOS screenshot preview back.
- Your Quick Notes, settings and license stay saved.
- The helper that reads what is playing is stopped, as of version 1.0.5.
If the star is not visible
A crowded menu bar can hide icons behind the notch. Read hidden menu bar icons. You can also quit from Activity Monitor: search for NotchStar and choose Quit.
Open it again
Open NotchStar from Applications. To have it start with the Mac, use launch at login.
Why you might not want to quit
The clipboard tool only records while NotchStar runs. See the clipboard feature.
