Halo

Halo brings a Dynamic Island to your Mac, whether or not it has a notch. Notifications from Messages, Slack, Mail, Telegram and any other app arrive in the island right where you're already looking, and a click opens the conversation, with per-app control over what can appear. Hold Fn and talk to dictate anywhere, with your words landing wherever the cursor is, using Apple's free on-device speech recognition or your own Groq key for Whisper. Halo Buddy, a small face beside the notch, follows your cursor, naps when you step away and reflects your AI agents' status, showing when Claude Code or Codex is thinking, needs you or is done. Halo also shows which app is using your mic during calls, a redesigned Now Playing view with artwork and a scrubber, your upcoming events and external monitor brightness.
