Islet — Development skill for Claude Code

Islet

**A free, open-source Dynamic Island for the Mac notch.** Music, calls, timers, your iPhone's Live Activities, coding agents and anything a script can send show up around the notch, and stay out of the way when nothing's happening.


What it does

• Your iPhone's Live Activities — rides, deliveries, scores, flights — shown in the notch instead of hidden behind it. 137 apps have their own look. → Live Activities
• Now Playing from any app, browsers included, with synced lyrics, a scrubber that seeks and an output picker. Small app icons switch between every player macOS lists.
• Coding agents. Watch Claude Code, Codex and Cursor work, answer their permission requests from the notch, and keep an eye on usage limits. → Integrations, MCP
• Meetings, timers and reminders. A meeting counts down beside the notch and waits with a Join button until you join it.
• A shelf, clipboard history and download progress. Drop files on the notch, AirDrop one in a click, find that link you copied an hour ago.
