The menu bar is always there; on-device privacy in NotNotch is glanceable and then gone. Shipping utilities stay on-device; the marketing site does not run analytics cookies.

When the notch is better
Use on-device privacy in the notch when you want a short live view without another icon in the menu bar.
When the menu bar stays
NotNotch does not hide Control Center or system extras. on-device privacy complements them.
