A SMALL SPACE. A LOT WITHIN REACH.

More of your Mac.
Less reaching around.

From the next song to the next task,
keep the things you use together.

01 / MUSIC & AUDIO

Stay with the song.

See what’s playing, scrub through a track, skip ahead, and choose an audio output. Music stays close while you work.

Now Playing · Playback · Audio output
02 / APPS & WINDOWS

Find your place.

Move between recent apps, see your open windows, and keep useful windows on a shelf. Bring the right thing forward without hunting for it.

Recent apps · Window Activity · Window Shelf
03 / FILES

Keep work moving.

Pin files and folders, browse inside them, search, and Quick Look a file. Copy, move, or drag items into your next task. The optional Finder integration brings your pinned collection into Finder, too.

Pinned collection · Folder browsing · Quick Look · Finder
04 / YOUR WIDGETS

A glance that’s yours.

Weather, your calendar, reminders, music, and more. Resize and rearrange widgets, name your own pages, mix in actions and recent apps, or expand the carousel into a dashboard.

13 widgets · Custom pages · Flexible sizes
05 / MESSAGES & CALLS

Stay in the conversation.

Read and reply to Messages, reach Phone and FaceTime call controls, and revisit notification history. The Island makes room for what comes in.

Quick replies · Call controls · Notification history
06 / EVERYDAY ACTIONS

Make it a one-step thing.

Build your own tiles for apps, websites, and Apple Shortcuts. Start a timer, mute audio, switch Low Power Mode, lock your Mac, or start the screen saver. Choose each tile’s icon, color, and label.

Custom actions · Apple Shortcuts · System controls

Fourteen ways to make it yours.

Mix, resize, and arrange.

The details add up.

07 / XCODE

Keep up with Xcode.

Choose a project, scheme, and destination; build, run, test, and stop. Follow progress in the Island or trigger actions with Apple Shortcuts.

08 / FACE UNLOCK · EXPERIMENTAL

Look up, and you’re in.

An optional camera-based unlock workflow, with local face enrollment and its own setup. It is not Apple Face ID.

Local enrollment · Optional · Its own setup

Passwords, close by

Import from Apple Passwords, unlock with Touch ID, and copy logins or verification codes.

Your connections

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth devices, volume, and audio routing in the same familiar space.

Your Mac, at a glance

See CPU, GPU, memory, battery, and charging status. Adjust volume and display brightness directly from their widgets.

More ways to reach your apps

Search your apps in Launchpad, or reveal a recent-apps dock from the left, right, or bottom edge of your display.

Glances on the lock screen

See Now Playing, weather, Mac and accessory batteries, and optional Face Unlock status with lock-screen widgets.

Fits your setup

Light, dark, or clear glass. Pin the Island open or reveal it on demand, with custom page layouts, hover timing, and per-display preferences.

Keep your hands on the keys

Assign global keyboard shortcuts to open or pin the Island, jump to a page, or reach files, windows, passwords, and notifications.

A moment for your accessories

Connection cards show when supported audio accessories connect or disconnect, with earbud and case battery levels when available.

Choose the integrations you use. Features such as Messages, calls, and notifications need their corresponding permissions or setup.
