Workflow to toggle 'Notch' on/off on later MacBooks

[minakoto]

Hello,

 

I'm relatively new to using Alfred, and I've found the notch on the MacBook somewhat irritating. At times, I do appreciate having a larger screen, however occasionally, I want my menu bar items to be easily reachable. If you have a lot of menu items, some of them maybe hidden behind the 'notch'. So naturally I want a solution to quickly turn the notch on and off.

 

I found the app called 'Say No to Notch', which is a great app! But you'll need to click the menu widget to invoke it, which is not very desirable/efficient for people who don't like to use mouse/trackpad.

 

Luckily, the App 'Say No to Notch' does support Apple shortcut action, which is great! So in an attempt to create a concise way of invoking that action, I've created an Alfred workflow to do this. This is my first time creating an Alfred workflow so and any feedback or advice on this would be greatly appreciated!
