# Supercharged Dynamic Island for your Mac

[Updated on July 6, 2026](https://getdroppy.app/changelog)

Notch or not, one beautiful app replaces a dock full of utilities, with 41 free extensions, for one small price.

[Download for macOS](https://getdroppy.app/download/latest) Purchase

[Syncs with Droppy for iOS. 100% free, forever.](https://testflight.apple.com/join/KVP7HrYZ)

## The upgrade your Mac deserves

Like a Swiss Army knife for your Mac. Think of it, and Droppy already does it.

**Now playing, on your lock screen** Tap the artwork and its motion art fills the whole screen.

**Dynamic Glass** Black at the notch, melting into glass.

**Liquid Glass** No notch? The island morphs into the full player.

**Your calendar, around the notch** Today's plans beside the camera, the whole month a glance away.

**Live Activities** Music, meetings, AirPods, uploads and volume, living around the notch.

**The File Tray** Drop files in, then zip or convert them right where they sit.

**Live Activities, side by side** Your Live Activities ride right beside the island, here in Dynamic Glass.

**Playing Next** See what is coming up and move any song to the top.

**Your Apple TV, in the notch** Skip songs, turn it up and follow the lyrics without reaching for the remote.

**Clipboard history** Everything you copy, one shortcut away.

**Motion art, in the notch** Apple Music covers come alive right in the notch.

## Your Mac can go further. Way further.

This is just a tiny part of Droppy, there’s so much more.

## Take a closer look.

- **Finish.** Dynamic Glass melts from black into glass, Liquid Glass stays clear, and Low battery mode turns it solid. Shown in Dynamic Glass.
- **Now Playing.** The cover comes alive and the waveform follows the beat, right at the notch.
- **File Tray.** Drag files to the top of the screen and they wait there until you need them.
- **Widgets.** Your Pomodoro counting down, live CPU graphs and your next events, side by side in the order you pick.
- **Live Activities.** Downloads, timers, calls, AirPods, coding agents and dozens more slip in right beside your music. See them all.
- **Dynamic Island.** On an iMac, a Mac mini or an external display, the island grows into the full player, with glances on either side.
- **Lock Screen.** Tap the artwork and its motion art fills the whole screen. Close it, and your Focus timer and Stay Awake are right below.

## Meet the all‑new Floating Player, wherever you need it.

Live in the latest nightly update!

![Floating player changing size, opening Playing Next and showing sample lyrics.](https://getdroppy.app/assets/floating-player/player-morph-20261001c.webp)

**Three sizes.** Your queue and lyrics, too.

![Kill Bill by SZA, with live SOS artwork, elastic next and previous song swipes, morphing player sizes and lyrics over the moving cover.](https://getdroppy.app/assets/floating-player/player-motion-2-20261001c.webp)

**Kill Bill.** SZA · SOS

![Let It Happen by Tame Impala, with live Currents artwork, elastic next and previous song swipes and morphing player sizes.](https://getdroppy.app/assets/floating-player/player-motion-1-20261001c.webp)

**Let It Happen.** Tame Impala · Currents

![Levitating by Dua Lipa, with live Future Nostalgia artwork, elastic next and previous song swipes and morphing player sizes.](https://getdroppy.app/assets/floating-player/player-motion-3-20261001c.webp)

**Levitating.** Dua Lipa · Future Nostalgia

## Droppy is there when *you* need it.

Agents at work, calls in progress, downloads and your next meeting show up beside the notch, then step aside when they're done.

**Your coding agents, live.** Watch Claude work from the notch, then flip to Usage and see every plan limit at a glance. Codex, Cursor and Antigravity too.

**Screen recording, built in.** The notch keeps the clock, Stop is one click away, and the finished recording lands right under it.

**Meeting controls, always in reach.** Mute, camera and screen share for Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, WhatsApp and Telegram, right at the notch.

**Reply without switching apps.** iMessage, WhatsApp and Telegram, answered from the notch. Emoji reactions too.

**Downloads, with the time left.** A ring fills beside the notch as the file comes in, and turns into a check when it lands.

**AirPods, just like on iPhone.** Connect them and they show up beside the notch with their battery, and again when it runs low. Keyboards, mice and controllers too.

**Your next meeting, counting down.** A countdown appears beside the notch before it starts, and Join opens the call in one click.

**Keep an eye on any window.** Box in a percentage, a score or a line of text, and the notch reads it live and tells you when it changes.

## Some more highlights.

The Droplet Store.
Droplets made by Droppy and by
developers everywhere, one click away.

Drop a file on the notch and get a share
link in seconds. It cleans itself up
after three days.

Pick the widgets you want in your notch
and put them exactly where you like.

Drop an image on the notch,
pick a format, and it is done.

Jiggle any drag and the floating file tray
flies in to hold it until you drop it
where it belongs.
