Still, I think there’s some real potential here. What do you think? Do you prefer a static or dynamic dock? Looking through some of the replies on Twitter, there’s a mix of feedback, with some loving the idea and some bemoaning how messy people’s docks are. Trivedi and Sereda’s concepts both basically imagine macOS leveraging Live Activities data.Īll said, even though these are merely concepts, it’d be interesting to see such tools built into macOS at some point. As it is, iPhone users (via a new feature called Live Activities) are able to dynamically interact with things like media playback or live ride-share/game updates directly on the Always-On Display or Dynamic Island.

We dig both of these ideas in that it takes what we love about iOS’ powerful Dynamic Island and brings it to the desktop.
