DynamicNotch treats the MacBook notch like a compact native surface instead of a static cutout. It stays close to the hardware shape until something important happens, then expands with queue-driven presentation, gesture support, and system-aware feature routing.

What is DynamicNotch?
DynamicNotch treats the MacBook notch like a compact native surface instead of a static cutout. It stays close to the hardware shape until something important happens, then expands with queue-driven presentation, gesture support, and system-aware feature routing.
The app is built with SwiftUI and AppKit, so the notch window, settings UI, and event handling feel like part of macOS rather than a web-style overlay.
The difference between this project and others is that it is built on its own engine, and not taken from other ready-made repositories. It completely copies the logic, animations, and behavior of a real Dynamic Island on an iPhone, unlike other projects.
The main goal is to make the project as native as possible, both in terms of design and interaction.
