Notchy keeps quitting or crashing — what can I do?

Update first — right-click the pill → “Check for Updates…”, or download the latest from notchy.dev. If Notchy dies twice in a row right after launch, it starts the next time in a safe mode with Face Unlock and optional services off, and checks for an update straight away.

Good to know

Notchy 1.0.203 fixed the launch and Settings crashes in 1.0.202.

After a crash, Notchy asks “Send an anonymous report to get it fixed?”. The report holds the app and macOS version and the crash stack — no personal data. Choose the default in Settings → About → Support → “Crash Reports”.

If one feature reliably crashes it, email issues@notchy.dev with what you did right before.
