Everything in one island

Twelve modules you can toggle. Clear Free / Pro layers. Preview below—full depth on the features page.

Pro

Music Stream

Detect now-playing apps, lyrics, and album-color ambient visuals that breathe with the track.

Music Stream elevates now-playing to the top of your focus: Island X reads system media sessions, shows title, artist, and lyrics when available, and paints the island with album-driven color. Control playback without leaving your current app—hover, glance, resume flow.

Free

Calendar & Weather

Open-Meteo weather plus lunar calendar, solar terms, holidays, and countdowns—one glance for the day.

Calendar & Weather compresses “what matters today” into the island: live/forecast weather (Open-Meteo), lunar date, solar terms, public holidays, and custom countdowns. Before travel or long weekends, temperature, rain, and calendar rhythm sit in one hover.

Free

System Monitor

CPU, memory, and disk rings with network speed and battery—spot a hot Mac in one glance.

System Monitor turns the metrics you check most into light island gauges: CPU, memory, and disk rings plus live network throughput and battery/power state. Perfect before a compile, export, or screen share—without opening Activity Monitor.

Pro

App Launcher

Pinned app grid plus Launchpad-style browse—open anything from the notch.

App Launcher pulls “find my app” into the island: pin favorites in a grid or expand a Launchpad-style browser. From fullscreen or deep focus, hover the top edge and launch—less ⌘Space typing, less hunting the Dock.

Pro

Shortcuts

Run macOS Shortcuts in one tap—hang automation on the notch.

The Shortcuts module surfaces your Shortcuts library on the island: trigger scene setups, file tidy scripts, or work rituals without digging through the menu bar. Ideal if you already invest in Apple Shortcuts.

Pro

Todos

Inline capture with Reminders / Calendar two-way sync—check off without leaving flow.

Todos bridge sudden thoughts and calendar commitments: capture inline on the island or sync both ways with macOS Reminders and Calendar. Add and complete in the hover surface so you stop bouncing between Notes, Reminders, and Calendar.

Designed for flow

Hover to expand

Auto-collapse on leave, Esc to dismiss, or pin open. Interaction lives at the notch—never steals the main stage.

Local-first data

Todos, notes, and settings stay on device. Weather uses coarse IP or a city you type. AI uses your keys; we don’t proxy chats.

Auto updates

Sparkle checks for updates; the download page keeps older DMGs for cautious rollbacks.
