Isleta

Dynamic Island for macOS · Menu Bar Utility

A macOS menu bar app that turns the MacBook notch into a live surface — a Dynamic Island for macOS, done properly. Everything in it is one of two things: pages you browse — Today, Music and Weather, turned with a two-finger swipe — and activities that arrive because something happened, then leave on their own. Today puts what is next in your calendar against what the sky is doing, with a button that joins the meeting. Music carries album artwork, an equalizer that freezes mid-stride on pause, and the queue your player is actually working through. Weather rains inside the island when it is raining outside, and the drops land on its bottom edge. Drop a file on the notch and it stays — or converts, or transcribes itself, entirely on your Mac with nothing uploaded. Move the pointer onto the MacBook notch and it peeks with a trackpad haptic — click and it expands. A Mac with no notch gets a floating Dynamic Island on the primary display, and all of it speaks English, German, French and Spanish. Free, and open source under the MIT License — the whole app is on GitHub to read, fork and build yourself.
