Atoll

Project Overview

Atoll turns the MacBook notch into a focused command surface for media, system insight, and quick utilities. It stays out of the way until needed, then expands with responsive, native SwiftUI animations.

Key Features

• Media controls: Apple Music, Spotify, Cider, and more with inline previews
• Live Activities: Media playback, Focus, screen recording, privacy indicators, downloads (beta), and battery/charging
• Lock screen widgets: Media, timers, charging, Bluetooth devices, and weather
• System insight: CPU, GPU, memory, network, and disk usage
• Productivity tools: Timers, clipboard history, color picker, and calendar previews
• Customization: Layouts, animations, hover behavior, and shortcut remapping
• Gesture controls: Two-finger swipe down to open the notch, horizontal gestures for media navigation
• Parallax hover interactions: Smooth transitions
