Missing Notch

I used a third-party tool a while ago (Big Sur I think?) to remove the notch on my MacBook (MBP Pro 13-inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports), which worked fine. Now I want to reverse it but I can't recall what the utility was called (oops) and Googling has been pretty useless.

I know this is probably a long shot, but does anyone know how to get the notch to return? I've even done a full system reinstall (for a different reason) and oddly, the missing notch has persisted.

I know this is probably a long shot, but does anyone have any idea how to get the thing back?

I have no notch, lol! 😭

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.3

Thank leroydouglas, I just download Top Notch it and gave it a go. Unfortunately it didn't let me reclaim my lost 50 pixels, so my vertical dims are still only 1750 rather than the full 1800. It looks like a neat utility though, I wish I had used this one as it doesn't seem to shift your top menu bar down 50 pixels to avoid the notch like this other one I used seems to have done.

Back to the drawing board, but thank you regardless! 🙂
