Introducing Halo

The notch,
awake.

A control center hiding in plain sight. Music, lyrics, a file shelf, connectors, and plugins you write — all in the black bar you already have.

macOS 14+ · Apple Silicon & Intel · Free & open

Your Mac has a notch.

See it live

Everything you reach for,
in one little bar.

Now Playing

Your music,
in the bar.

Artwork, controls, lyrics, like, and add-to-playlist — without ever leaving what you're doing.

Kinetic Lyrics

Lyrics that
perform.

Synced, word-by-word, in motion. Not subtitles — a performance.

Plugins

Make it
your own.

A sandboxed runtime. Write a plugin, drop it on the canvas, place it anywhere.

Out of your way

There when
you need it.

The rest of the time, it's just the notch. No dock icon. No clutter. Gone until you reach for it.

🧩 Plugin Marketplace

Click. Install. Done.

Every plugin is a tiny sandboxed script that renders right inside your notch. Grab one below — download the file or copy its install link into Halo.
