Description

Support me on Patreon! For $1/mo, you get access to all of my paid apps, along with development updates and more! https://www.patreon.com/zacharywander.

IMPORTANT:
The launcher icon does nothing useful! Don't open it if you read this! This app works through the use of a custom Quick Tile. Add the tile by opening the notification shade all the way, tapping the pencil or "EDIT," and dragging "Hide Notch" to the active area. Check the "Promo" video for a visual guide, or follow this link: https://youtu.be/HhH5wK1NokY

ALSO IMPORTANT:
Android prevents screen overlays from showing on the lockscreen, so this app will not and cannot work when the device is locked!

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS.
They describe how Nacho Notch works, and will likely answer most questions.

ZENFONE 5 USERS:
After installing, if the tile doesn't show up in your quick settings menu, reboot. This is a ZenUI bug!

Maybe you have a phone with a notch, maybe you don't. If you do, you might also be annoyed by having this black blob in the middle of a light-colored status bar most of the time.

If this description fits you, you probably want this app. Nacho Notch colors the status bar black while the device is in the portrait orientation, making it better fit with the notch (thereby "hiding" it).

Even if you don't have a notch, but still want a black status bar, you can use the app too. It dynamically finds the height of your statusbar, so you won't be dealing with too little or too much height, or finnicky manual sizing.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

5 ★I couldn't live without this app. I hate notches and cutout camera holes

5 ★I love it! I can't stand to look at punch holes or notches! I recently used the settings to fine tune my home screen gaps at the top and the bottom (nav bar) that were only a sliver but still bugged me. Five million stars!!! Thank you!!!

1 ★Ever since the option to hide when in landscape mode was removed, it has not worked properly and shows up in landscape mode.

2 ★Doesn't work on a OnePlus 6t. I can't hide the notch or change the color of the status bar.

4 ★Being able to set the Navigation Bar Height top to bottom direction instead of bottom to top (the opposite direction) would be neat.

1 ★Please add option to hide navigation corners when the keyboard is open. When I use keyboard, black navigation bar is in the middle of keyboard.

4 ★Randomly turns off even when it shows its on but overall cool

5 ★this app tremendously help me with coping from the ugly camera cutout that literally all the phones across the milky way have..

5 ★Perfect Nachos!

5 ★Incredible but it works ! 👍
