Isle is a notch app for Mac that turns the MacBook notch into a living island, like the Dynamic Island on iPhone. Hover and it stretches, click and it opens, so music, calls, timers, and AI sessions are always in view. Keep an eye on usage limits for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and 20+ other AI services, and answer permission prompts right from the island. There's no account and no analytics, and your data stays on your Mac.

Isle features
AI usage limits, always in sight
Rings in the notch show how much of each limit you have left, from 5-hour and weekly windows to monthly pools. Isle also tells you when an AI session finishes, when it's waiting for you, or when a limit passes 80%. Using Terminal or iTerm? Allow or deny Claude Code permissions without leaving what you're doing.
Stay awake, even with the lid closed
Click the coffee cup and your Mac won't sleep. Turn on "Even with the lid closed" and downloads, renders, builds, and AI agents finish while the Mac sits in your bag. To keep things cool, the fans run at full speed. Isle switches itself off if the battery drops below 15%, the Mac gets too hot, or you quit the app.
Music at your fingertips
See artwork, scrub through tracks, control playback, and read lyrics for Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, and podcasts. A small wave dances next to the notch while the music plays.
Shelf and AirDrop
Drag a file to the top of the screen and the Shelf holds it for seven days. Need to send it? Drop it on AirDrop.
Screenshots with annotation
Press Option+Shift+4, pick an area, and mark it up with a pen, arrows, shapes, text, counters, or a secure pixelate. Then copy it, save it, pin it on screen, or send it to the Shelf.
All the small stuff, in one place
Timers, Pomodoro, and a mic mute button for calls live in the island. So do AirPods and accessory battery levels, clipboard history (passwords left out), calendar, weather, and quick notes. You also get a system monitor, plus a one-click way to hide and reveal menu bar icons.
