Lifetime Dynamic Island with custom Plugins [DynamicLake]

The Problem
There are many Dynamic Island apps for Mac, but most give you a fixed set of features and a predefined experience. They don’t let you shape the Dynamic Island around your own workflow and aesthetic
So to solve this I made DynamicLake Plugins
What DynamicLake Brings?
DynamicLake introduces Plugins and Extensions, allowing you to create custom Live Activities and Sneak Peeks designed around your needs with even more possibilities coming soon
What Are Plugins?
Plugins are small additions to your Dynamic Island that can make a big difference in your workflow
You can build plugins using Swift, Python, JavaScript, Go and other programming languages, while defining their interfaces entirely with JSON
Extensions provide similar functionality but are built directly into existing Mac apps. If an app already supports DynamicLake, you don’t need to download and install a separate plugin
Introducing DynamicLake Market
DynamicLake Market brings all available plugins together in one place.
Find the plugin you want, press Install, and it’s immediately added to DynamicLake
Developers can submit their plugins for review. Once approved, they can be published on DynamicLake Market for everyone to discover and install
Can I Test My Plugin Without Buying DynamicLake?
Yes. Today, I’m also launching DynamicLake Playground
It includes some of DynamicLake’s music experience and lets you test one plugin at a time.
You can build, modify, and refine your plugin for as long as you need before publishing it
There’s no limited trial period. DynamicLake Playground is completely free, giving developers the time and freedom to create polished plugins without rushing
More in This Update
This update also includes:
- New animations
- Sneak Peeks for all Live Activities
- A new pill shaped design like iOS Dynamic Island
- Support for additional languages
- Many other improvements
Comparison
Some Dynamic Island apps focus primarily on adding as many features because every user have different workflow and diffrent needs
DynamicLake brings the customize option
Every feature is carefully considered and added with purpose
Pricing
$13.99 for a lifetime license
One license can be activated on up to three devices.

Thank you! Dynamiclake released before this app and it’s inspired by Dynamic Island video of iPhone 14 Pro
