NotchMind quits by itself after a minute

If NotchMind closes on its own a minute or two after opening, macOS is stopping it as a background app. Allow it in Login Items to fix it.

Checked against the app on

NotchMind has no regular window; it lives in the notch. If macOS’s background item settings don’t allow it, macOS can stop it after a minute or two, as if it crashed. There’s no crash report, because nothing crashed.

Fix it

NotchMind spots this and, a few seconds after it opens, offers Open Login Items or turning off Launch at login. To fix it by hand:

  1. Open System Settings → General → Login Items & Extensions.
  2. Under Allow in the Background, find NotchMind and turn it on.
  3. Open NotchMind again from Applications.

Also check

  • Launch at login in Settings → General → System. If it says Waiting for approval, choose Open Login Items and approve NotchMind there.
  • You’re running the copy in Applications, not one on the disk image or in Downloads.
