Blackcap – Menu Bar Styling

Blackcap hides the notch and makes your Mac a little calmer, with rounded corners, a menu bar in your color, and a wallpaper that distracts less. Everything is right in the menu bar.

HIDE THE NOTCH One switch turns the menu bar area black so the notch blends in. Blackcap keeps your menus readable and clickable. External displays and Macs without a notch can have a matching bar, too.

SHAPE YOUR CORNERS Choose from three sizes and round the bottom corners too, if you like. Cover just the built-in display or every screen. The bottom corners leave full-screen apps untouched.

FIND YOUR COLOR Give the bar your own color and opacity, or let it pick up the colors of your wallpaper. Black hides the notch best; a matching color creates a cohesive look, especially on displays without a notch.

CALM YOUR WALLPAPER Darken your picture, soften its details, or mute its colors. Adjust the three settings independently while your original file stays untouched.

PART OF YOUR ROUTINE • Apple Shortcuts: turn Blackcap on or off, toggle or read the switch, and set corners, bar color, and calm wallpaper • Focus filters: switch Blackcap, rounded corners, and calm wallpaper to suit the active Focus • Control Center: reach the main switch even with the menu bar icon hidden • Choose to launch at login or work only in Dark Mode

YOUR WALLPAPER. STILL YOURS. Works with photos and Apple’s still and day-and-night wallpapers. Dynamic pictures keep changing with the time of day. Aerial and animated wallpapers work with the black bar in Dark Mode while the menu bar is not set to hide automatically.

Switch Blackcap off to restore your original wallpapers.
