I created DynamicHorizon because existing notch utilities often feel clunky or resource-heavy. I wanted a solution that felt like it came directly from Apple: simple, lightweight, and completely optimized for macOS.

As a software engineer with a background in both QA and graphic design I crafted this app with dedication for total excellence. Before this public launch, we processed over 300 requests to join the beta and worked closely with 50 active testers to rigorously assure quality and stability.

It is built 100% in SwiftUI and AppKit, ensuring it has negligible impact on your battery or CPU. Every transition uses premium, handcrafted animations to feel indistinguishable from the system UI.

Features:

Use the notch as a responsive productivity hub with: live system indicators, custom media controls for Spotify and Apple Music, compact messaging notifications, and drag-and-drop airdrop, plus many additional features. DynamicHorizon also enhances your Lock Screen with real-time weather and a full media player that feels native to macOS.

Built to Evolve: DynamicHorizon is designed to receive substantial features over time. We are already testing productivity tools (like timers and notes) and the ability to reply to notifications directly from the notch, which are expected to be released soon.

I do not believe in renting utilities. DynamicHorizon is a one-time purchase (Lifetime License) for permanent access and all future updates.

You sure you mean Apple? Non of those adjectives apply to Apple any more. :p

Looks pretty slick.. but the app really needs to be notarized, my friend.

Fair point hahaha! Apple isn’t quite what it used to be yes...
Glad to hear it looks good, though!

And yes, notarization is needed. I’m working on it and will make sure the app is properly notarized soon. Thanks for pointing it out!
 
Interesting. What version of macOS compatible with this utility?
Hello! It’s compatible with macOS Sonoma and newer.
If you have further questions don't hesitate to bring me here on the forum or through the support email. Thank you!
