Hi there,

with the release of iPhone 14 Pro Apple introduced Dynamic Island.

As i already created a notification light app for Samsung or Pixel phones (aodNotify) i tried to port the app to something like Dynamic Island.

In android we have no camera islands, but camera spots / cutouts. So that's when dynamicSpot was born :)


With dynamicSpot you can easily get the iPhone 14 Pro Dynamic Island feature on your device! dynamicSpot gives you Dynamic Island's mini multitasking feature, making it easier to access recent notifications or phone events.

Just tap on the little black popup to open the displayed app, long press the popup to expand it and view more details.

iPhone's Dynamic Island is not customizable, but dynamicSpot is! You can change interaction settings, select when to show or hide the popup or which apps should appear.

As dynamicSpot uses Android's notification system it is compatible with almost all apps, like messaging notification, timer apps and even music apps!
So if you e.g. start a timer, dynamicSpot will show you the running time.


The app is in a public beta currently and will be further optimized. Animations may not be super smooth and not all apps be compatible currently.
But im working on it :)


MAIN FEATURES
• iPhone 15 Pro Dynamic Island feature
• Mini multitasking for your phone

After switching between light and dark themes, most if not all of the text under settings are not viewable.

MOD Edit:
Hello, the application is very good, I bought the full version but I activate the time that the notifications are seen but nothing happens anyway, the notifications do not disappear

Bought the pro version. Thanks for this! Looking forward to how well this matures.

Just one thing, when the notification expands, there is no way to make it 'small' again or swipe the notification away.

Can you add an option to set the offset position X into the settings? For phone with notch/camera on the edge of the screen, thanks in advance

The basics work great but :
1) When I open and close the dynamic spot app itself, the pop-up bar closes on its own. I have to stop and start the music again to retain it (Even though battery optimisation is turned off.)
2) Please add an option to always show the "Dynamic Spot" on the same spot (pun intended) just for the feel.
3) Add the ability for the notch to adjust itself when 2 notifications arrive because everytime a second notification arrives, it overlaps with the status bar icons.
3) When I set a timer and exit the clock app the timer starts in the pop-up. But when I change the tracks using the dynamic spot and exit the pop-up the timer stops but in system notification it's still running.
4) [Feature Request] when playing music, a waveform animation would be great.
5) [Feature Request] A method to prioritise certain apps notification because definitely you want to see the new text message and other important notifications rather than seeing that your incognito tab is running.

These are just for your kind information just to help you make the app more polished. Loved all your other apps and loving this one as well. Keep up the great work. Love and peace ❤️☮️

Thanks for the application, it works successfully and I bought the pro version. I share it on our country's forum sites. Could you please add Turkish language support?

Loving this app and I bought pro! Just some questions and feature requests.

1. Does it not support google clock yet? Here is what it looks like with an active timer on the clock app on my Pixel 6 Pro.

Feature requests:

1. Auto expand notification option.- Since it blocks popup from notifications this option would make it better to be able to see full notification content automatically like the popup.
2. Hide silent notifications - I currently have a constant silent notification from home assistant app on my phone and that means it always shows it on the island, would love to be able to hide that.
3. More customization options

Installed this on my S22 Ultra! Works great but it I start a timer on the Google clock app instead of the Samsung clock app I don't see how much is left in the popup, is there a way to fix that?

    Hi, I have a question and hope to get an answer from the developer :)

    When I play music through my hearing aid (using Bluetooth LE), the music visualizer stands still as if no sound is played. But when I play music through the phone speaker or in the car through Bluetooth, the visualizer plays. Is it not recognizing Bluetooth LE devices? Is it fixable? Thanks in advance!

    Nice work by the way, DynamicSpot works great and I recently bought the pro version.
    Dont know why it doesnt work on some Bluetooth devices. Android takes control over the music stream. Guess if music is not processed on device visualizer is off

    [IDEA] A new kind of feature where the pill works as a progress bar for some apps (defined in settings). Would work great for browsers and the native download manager to monitor the progress. I can create a mock up if you need more context.
    that would be possible, but unfortunately some apps report complete bulls* progress values.

    Samsung Internet works perfectly whereas Playstore made by Google doesnt...
    Cant implement it therefore

    Hi Jawomo I have a idea for better UI of dynamic spot add some shadow in border line of dynamic spot
    Then it would look muchh great
    There is a shadow already. If you make background color white you can see it. On black its not visible because of the contrast

    1. When using landscape mode, please make sure that live activities are not displayed in a reduced state.
    2. When using this app, there is an error where the screen turns on when a notification comes from the Korean app 'KakaoTalk'.
    3. Since the camera position is different for each smartphone, it would be a good idea to create a preset for each smartphone.

    Hi Man!
    First of all thank you for this app. I like it and ı have some suggestions for you..

    Here it is :

    -When using the application at the same time android notifications come and i get 2 notifications at the same time it would be much nicer if you can fix this

    - I think thats app verry good but have some upgrade maybe is face ıd symbol abd charge symbol when charged or when face ıd used
    On samsung devices you can hide notification icons. Unfortunately not all manufacturers offer such an option

    Suggestion
    Can you add face lock scanning popup in lock screen just like ios?
