Alcove
brew install --cask alcove
v1.7.3
Adds Dynamic Island-style interactive notifications and widgets to the notch area on MacBook Pro.
Why you might care
If you have a MacBook Pro with a notch, Alcove lets you use that space productively with widgets and notifications instead of it being mostly blank. It's a native macOS app that makes the notch feel less like wasted screen real estate.
