Does hover-to-open work on a Mac without a notch?
Yes — hover-to-open is not limited to a hardware cutout. NotNotch can present a floating top-screen surface, and moving the pointer into the chin can open the notch after a configurable delay.

Notch-less Macs
iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio, and older notebooks can still use hover-to-open on a compatible display.
Why the cutout is optional
The product is a top-edge companion. Moving the pointer into the chin can open the notch after a configurable delay.
