Alcove 1.7.9 for Mac
Alcove 1.7.9 MacOS
A native Mac utility that puts an iPhone-style Dynamic Island in the notch (or a pill on notchless displays) for media, volume, brightness, notifications, and lock-screen widgets.
Henrik Ruscon (also behind Klack) ships it outside the App Store. It listens to system changes for volume and brightness instead of grabbing full keyboard access. Expand with a click or swipe; live activities sit in the island while you work. Customizable HUDs replace or sit beside the stock overlays. Lock-screen widgets can show now playing, weather, or calendar. A 1.7-line feature set includes duo mode, a pill shape for iMacs and studios, simulated-notch toggle, Lossless/Dolby Atmos labels, AirPods Max support, and calendar/accessibility onboarding. The FAQ says no personal data is collected.
