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
