Oriel

Oriel turns the notch on your Mac into a living Dynamic Island. Hover over it and it opens into your music, your week and everything that’s happening, then it tucks back around the notch.

Music, on Apple Music or Spotify

Album art and live bars around the notch, and the song drops down when it changes A big player with synced lyrics, Up Next, volume and sound output Full-screen covers, Apple Music’s moving artwork, and music on your lock screen Save songs, add them to playlists and see which playlists already have them, without switching apps On Spotify, see which device is playing and move it back to your Mac Shazam in the notch, and anything else that plays: YouTube in a browser, podcasts and more

Live activities

Calls ring in the island with Answer and Decline, and Zoom, Teams and Meet show with mute and leave Texts drop in with their photos and the sender’s picture, and you can reply right from the island Claude Code and Codex step by step, with a red ! when they need you Usage limits for Claude, Codex, Cursor, Gemini and Copilot Timers and a Pomodoro, downloads, screen recordings, charging, AirPods with battery, and meeting alerts with Join

Your week, files and widgets

A calendar with your week or month, and events added by typing (“Lunch with Rita tomorrow 1pm”) A file tray: drop files on the notch, then drag them out or AirDrop them Widgets for weather, batteries, system, reminders and a world clock Make your own widgets with the no-code builder on the website, and share them in the gallery

Your look
