Live activities, Facetime calls and BetterDisplay support

Jan 8, 2026


Timer and Music with multi live activities

DynamicLake continues to evolve from a visual novelty into a practical, glanceable control center for macOS. With the latest updates, three major additions redefine how the notch can work for you: Multi Live Activities, FaceTime Call support, and BetterDisplay integration.

These features are built to feel native, fast, and useful not distracting.

Multi Live Activities: Real-Time Awareness Without the Noise

DynamicLake now supports multiple Live Activities at the same time, all visible directly in the notch.

Instead of jumping between lakes or move between apps, you can now track:

  • Music playback

  • AirDrop transfers

  • DynaDrop file actions

  • Timers

  • Ongoing calls

Each activity updates live, expands only when needed, and intelligently shares space with others. DynamicLake prioritizes what matters right now, keeping everything readable and fluid even when several activities are active at once.

This turns the notch into something genuinely useful — a place for live context, not clutter.

FaceTime Calls: Always Visible, Never Interruptive

FaceTime calls now integrate directly into DynamicLake.

Incoming calls appear clearly in the notch, and ongoing calls remain visible while you continue working whether you’re in full-screen apps, presentations, or focused workflows.

BetterDisplay Support: Clean OSD, Modern Look

DynamicLake now works seamlessly with BetterDisplay, bringing display feedback into the notch instead of across your screen.

If you already use BetterDisplay, this integration feels like a natural extension combining powerful display control with a modern, notch-based UI that respects your workspace.

Built for macOS, Not Just Inspired by iOS

Every part of this update is designed specifically for macOS:

  • Smooth animations with low CPU impact

  • Visuals that adapt to light and dark mode

  • Proper behavior with external displays and fullscreen apps

DynamicLake isn’t about copying the iPhone experience it’s about making the Mac notch actually useful.

The Notch, Reimagined

With Multi Live Activities, FaceTime Calls, and BetterDisplay support, DynamicLake turns the notch into a real-time hub for what matters most without interruptions, distractions, or wasted space.

This is just the beginning.
