This Airdrop App Lets You Drop Files Onto The Macbook Notch

While Apple introduced its once-infamous notch with the iPhone X back in 2017, the company added a notch to its MacBook line with last year’s M1-powered MacBook Pro. Although it doesn’t provide any additional features, Apple says that it offers more screen real-estate and enables them to integrate an improved 1080p FaceTime HD camera into the new MacBook Pros. Now, an app developer has found a nifty use for the notch and created an AirDrop app for it. Check it out here!

An Australia-based iOS developer named Ian Keen recently took to Twitter to show a nifty macOS app that transforms the notch on the MacBook Pro models into an AirDrop app. With Keen’s app, users can simply drag a file and drop it on the notch area to open up the AirDrop UI on the latest MacBook Pro. When dropping the files onto the area, the app even lights up the notch to indicate that the AirDrop UI is triggered

Following this, the AirDrop UI pops up, showing the available AirDrop-eligible devices near them. During the process, the app lights up the area around the notch with a yellow or green indicator to show the file transfer progress.
