Lets full screen apps use the strip beside your MacBook's notch or Dynamic Island, so you get the whole display.

In full screen, macOS keeps the strip either side of the MacBook notch black, so a 14" MacBook Pro in full screen is really a 14.06" screen. ProMax Display lets full screen apps use that strip, so you get the full 14.2" Apple advertises.

Features

  • Full screen apps use the whole display, including the strip beside the notch or Dynamic Island.
  • Rear-view mirror: point into the notch and a small live mirror shows what's behind it. Everything there stays clickable.
  • Trackpad gestures: two fingers up from the bottom edge for the Dock, down from the top for the menu bar and Control Center.
  • Pinch to fill any full screen video.

Setup

ProMax adds a small add-on to the Dock, and macOS only allows that with two parts of System Integrity Protection off. The install page explains each step, and you can turn it back on whenever you like.

Requirements and pricing

A MacBook with a notch or Dynamic Island, macOS 26 or later, Apple silicon. $9.99 once, every update included.
