Aug 12, 2025
Timers Are Finally Here
We’ve just made timers in Dynamic Lake a whole lot smarter and if you’ve ever used the Dynamic Island on iOS, you’ll feel right at home
Now, you can create and run up to 5 timers at the same time, exactly like iOS timers, but right on your Mac
How It Works
Starting a timer is simple:
Hold the Command key
Drag the notch horizontally
That’s it! You’ll instantly create a timer without opening any menus or extra windows.
Live Activity for Timers
We’ve also added Live Activity for timers right inside the notch.
You’ll be able to:
See your timers counting down in real time
Switch between multiple timers effortlessly
Keep all timers visible at once no more guessing which one is ending first
Why It’s Awesome
Perfect for cooking multiple dishes, managing work sprints, or even gaming cooldowns.
You can name each timer for quick identification.
Just like the Dynamic Island on iOS, but now in Dynamic Lake the Dynamic Island experience, now on your Mac
Update to the latest version of Dynamic Lake and try it out.
Timers are now more powerful, more flexible, and still just as easy to use
