NotchMindNotchMind works with VPN connections set up in macOS, the ones listed in System Settings → VPN. That includes VPN apps that add their connection there.
Choose your VPN
- Open Settings → VPN.
- Under Preferred VPN, select the connection you want to control from the notch.
If it says No VPN configurations found on this Mac, add one in System Settings → VPN first, or open your VPN app and connect once so it adds itself.
Connect from the notch
Open the notch and swipe to the VPN page on Home. Choose Connect VPN or Disconnect. The page shows whether you’re Connected and since when.
Connection notices
- VPN temporary activity shows a short notice when a VPN connects.
- VPN disconnected temporary activity tells you when it drops, so you’re never off the VPN without knowing.
- VPN duration and VPN disconnected duration set how long each stays. Both start at 5 seconds.
- VPN style: Compact or Detailed, with tunnel details.
VPN apps that don’t appear
Some VPN apps manage their connection only inside the app and don’t add it to System Settings. NotchMind can’t see or control those.
