Hide the macOS yellow recording dot in the corner of your screen

v3 (compatible with macOS 15 and 26)

Bring compatibility with macOS 15 and 26. It's compiled with Xcode 26.2, should work on older versions as well.

v2 (after macOS 13)

available here

Hides the recording or location indicator dot by making it full black or white.

Works best in fullscreen situations on MacBooks with a notch where the black dot would sit on a black menubar making it completely invisible.

In other situations it helps by making the dot blend in with the other menubar icons, making it less of a distraction.


v1 (before macOS 12.2)

available here

Inspired by undot by s4y which grabs and moves the dot window outside the screen.

Since macOS 12.2, the dot is no longer a simple window that can be moved away.

Removing the dot completely in 12.2 and later requires altering system files, which I wouldn't want to do.

Tyshawn Cormier came up with a very clever solution for this in his RecordingIndicatorUtility app. Check it out if you still want to hide the dot!
