The Dynamic Island for your MacBook.
Glint turns your notch into a living island — your music with album art, timers, your next meeting, battery, a file shelf, CI builds and an AI assistant. Local, private, and quiet until you need it.
Free music island · $5.99 one-time for Pro · macOS 13+ · Local & private
Modules
One notch. Everything live.
Glint hugs your notch and lights up the moment something happens — then gets out of the way. Music and live activities are free; the rest unlock with Pro.
Now Playing
Your music in the notch — album art, scrubber, and a glance-able peek when a track starts. The free hero.
Live Activities
Long task running in the terminal? Pipe it to the notch with glint wrap … and watch it progress live.
Timers
Start a timer and it counts down right in the island — no window, no app to open.
Up next
Your next meeting peeks from the notch before it starts, with a one-tap join.
Meeting cockpit
Mute, unmute, and see you're live at a glance — the notch becomes your mic control.
Battery & AirPods
Charging, low battery, AirPods connected — the island flashes the status and settles back.
File shelf
Drag files onto the notch to stash them, then drag them out wherever you need — a tray that's always in reach.
CI builds
Watch your GitLab or GitHub pipelines from the notch — green, red, running — without leaving your work.
Ask Glint
A quick AI assistant in the notch — summarize, rewrite or explain the selected text. Bring your own key; nothing is proxied through us.
Local & private
Glint runs entirely on your Mac. No server, no account — the studio never sees your music, your files, or your keys.
Speaks your language
Fully localized in six languages, following your Mac automatically.
Lives in the menu bar
Settings, modules, license and updates — all from a tidy menu-bar agent.

FAQ
Questions, answered
What's free, and what's Pro?
The music island — Now Playing with album art — and live activities are free forever. Glint Pro ($5.99) unlocks timers, calendar, meetings, battery & AirPods, the file shelf, CI builds and the Ask Glint AI assistant.
Do I need a MacBook with a notch?
Glint is built for notch Macs (MacBook Pro 2021+ and Air 2022+). On Macs without a notch it isn't at home yet — a floating island for those is on the roadmap.
Which music players does it show?
Glint reads macOS Now Playing, so Apple Music and anything that reports to the system shows up — album art, title and scrubber, right in the notch.
Is it private? What about the AI?
Yes. Glint runs entirely on your Mac with no server. Ask Glint is bring-your-own-key: your prompts go straight to the provider you configure — never proxied through us — and your key is stored in the macOS Keychain.
Is it one-time or a subscription?
Glint is a one-time $5.99 purchase — buy it once and own it forever. The only subscription is Whittle All-Access ($15.99/year) for every tool we ship.
What macOS version do I need?
macOS 13 (Ventura) or later, on Apple Silicon and Intel notch Macs.
How do I get help or a refund?
Email [email protected] and a human will get back to you. We're a small studio and we read every message.
