About:
Alcove is a utility designed to bring Dynamic Island-like functionality to the notch on modern MacBook Pro models. It transforms the unused space around the camera cutout into a live, interactive dashboard for system stats and notifications. The tool provides a sleek, unobtrusive way to monitor your system without cluttering your screen or dock.
|
Key Features:
- Live activity monitoring for CPU, memory, and network usage
- Interactive controls for music playback and window management
- Customizable widgets and themes to match user preferences
- Minimalist design that integrates natively with the notch area
|
Use Cases:
- Monitoring system performance metrics at a glance during development or creative work
- Controlling media playback without switching applications or revealing the menu bar
- Viewing real-time notifications and calendar events in a discreet location
|
Alternatives:
-
NotchNook
– Similar interactive notch functionality with a focus on gesture-based controls
-
Dynamic Island emulation scripts
– Open-source scripts that offer basic notification mirroring but lack a native UI
