SuperIsland
iOS-style live activities for macOS in your notch
SuperIsland brings Dynamic Island-style live activities to the MacBook notch, displaying music playback, battery status, calendar events, notifications, weather, and more. It includes a JavaScript SDK that lets developers build custom modules rendered natively in SwiftUI without needing Xcode. The app is free and open source, compatible with any Mac that has a notch.
SuperIsland runs as a macOS app that renders live activity modules in the notch area, with a JavaScript SDK allowing custom module development via a simple manifest and index.js file.
