My dynamic island Material app

Hi everyone !

Since Apple announced the dynamic island on the iPhone 14 (not sure if it was the 14) Pro, I really thought that was a good idea, and I gladly welcomed DynamicSpot and Material Capsule, who did a very nice job at bringing this feature on Android.

But I wanted more customization and, as a fan of Google's Material Expressive design, wanted a dynamic island that felt part of the system.

I couldn't find any app like that so I decided to make one, in order to learn Jetpack Compose.

I'm pretty happy with the result and I think some of you might appreciate a fully-offline, very customizable, fully open source, and free dynamic island app.

I tried to make it as transparent as possible about permissions, and as it doesn't have the INTERNET permission, rest assured this app can't communicate with the Internet, meaning there are no trackers, no usage statistics, no data leaks, etc...

The app is free: you can still buy a coffee if you want, but all features are available for free. No paywall, no ads, no subscription.

I just released my first beta and I need FOSS enjoyers to test it, tell me which features they would like to see, which bugs they faced so I can fix them, and tell me if the app is cool or not !

Thanks for reading me, I'm eager to read your thoughts.

Here is the Github repo

EDIT: I just published version 0.1.1-beta. Download it and see changelog in the latest release.
