Your notch,
finally alive.
A Dynamic Island for the Mac. Hover the camera and black glass blooms open: now playing with artwork, a fisheye calendar, clipboard history, a file shelf with AirDrop, animated weather — and an AI oracle that answers in annealing ember light. The best pixels on your screen, working at last. Every install gets the glance free — media, weather, AI usage; the tools unlock with any paid plan.
Live recreation, not a video — the bloom, the shelf, and the Oracle annealing an answer.
The island is one surface — the rest of FavTray opens in a popover deck you can flip to a dense one-row-per-tool List layout (⌘\), or pop out full-screen with Board.
Six surfaces, one piece of glass
The Notch Becomes a Surface
Hover the camera housing and a black-glass island blooms open — media, calendar, clipboard, files, weather, and quick actions, exactly where your eyes already are.
Media, Properly
Now playing with live artwork, transport controls, and a seek bar for Spotify and Apple Music — without hunting for the right app window.
TimeLens Calendar
A fisheye timeline of your week: today magnified hour-by-hour, other days compressed to slabs. Click any meeting for full details — attendees, notes, and a one-click Join.
The Island Oracle
Ask AI from the notch. Answers anneal into the glass — ember-lit words cooling to white — with one follow-up, then gone. No chat window, no history, AI included.
Island Notifications
FavTray's own alerts — meeting join pills, watched-port kills, CI verdicts, eye-break reminders — land as compact badges under the camera, not popup panels.
Camera Self-Check
A mirrored preview in the island before you join a call. Every camera — built-in, external, iPhone Continuity — and nothing is ever recorded.
Built for these moments
Meeting-heavy days
The island shows a join pill a minute before every call, and the TimeLens click-through has the link, the attendees, and the agenda.

The Dynamic Island is the best interaction idea Apple ever shipped — and Macs with notches do nothing with it. FavShelf fixes that.

The Oracle answers one-off questions — a regex, a command, a definition — without opening a browser or a chat app.

Which plan unlocks the full Dynamic Island?
Any paid plan. Personal (₹49/month) and Lifetime (₹999, pay once) both include the island's full toolset, its notifications, and the Island Oracle — alongside the other 14 Pro tools.
Can I try the island for free?
Yes. Every FavTray install — free included — shows the island glance: now-playing media with transport controls, live weather for your saved places, and Claude/Codex usage bars, right under the notch. The tools inside (clipboard history, file shelf, camera check, the TimeLens calendar, and the Oracle) unlock with any paid plan.
Does it need a notch?
No. On notch Macs the island wraps the camera housing; on external displays and non-notch Macs it renders as a floating black-glass bar at the top of the screen with the same features.
Does it drain the battery like other notch apps?
No. FavTray's island follows strict performance rules: no perpetual animations, event-driven updates only, and ambient scenes capped at 12fps that exist only while the island is open. When it's closed, it costs nothing.
What powers the Island Oracle?
The same built-in AI that powers AI Writer — no API key or setup needed. Questions and answers are never stored anywhere; the conversation is discarded the moment the island retracts.
Does it work with Spotify?
Yes — artwork, transport, and seek for Spotify and Apple Music. System-wide now-playing for browsers and other apps is on the roadmap.
Which macOS versions are supported?
macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later, Apple Silicon and Intel. On macOS 26 (Tahoe) the island adopts Liquid Glass materials on external displays.
Is the island private?
Yes. Clipboard history, shelf files, and calendar data live only on your Mac and are never uploaded. The only network calls are the ones you'd expect: weather fetches forecasts for your saved places, and the Island Oracle sends your question directly to the AI endpoint — nothing is stored, and the conversation vanishes the moment the island closes.
Pay once. Own the island forever.
Every paid plan includes all 15 Pro tools and the full Dynamic Island — from ₹49/month, or ₹999 once for Lifetime.
