How do I hide Notchy temporarily without quitting?
Press ⌥Space — the “Hide Notchy” shortcut — to hide it, and press it again to bring it back. If you'd rather never see the resting pill, turn on “Invisible Until Hover” in Settings → Behavior → Visibility; music, timers, calls and notifications still appear.
Good to know
The shortcut can be changed under Settings → Behavior → Keyboard Shortcuts if ⌥Space clashes with another app.
