Aura ⚡️

The ultimate Dynamic Island companion for macOS.

Aura transforms your Mac's notch into a powerful, context-aware command center. Inspired by Dynamic Island, it provides instant access to media controls, system stats, calendar events, and AI-powered tools right from the top of your screen.

✨ Features

• 🎯 Smart Notch Integration: Automatically positions itself behind the notch on MacBook Pros, or simulates one on other Macs.
• 🎵 Universal Media Controls: Control Apple Music, Spotify, and even browser-based players (YouTube Music, Spotify Web) directly from the notch.
• 🧠 Local AI Power: Integrated with Ollama for privacy-focused, offline AI commands and assistance.
• 📋 Smart Clipboard: Drag-and-drop text, images, and files to the notch for temporary storage.
• ⚡️ Automation Workflows: Create "If This Then That" rules based on battery, focus modes, and more.
• 🔌 Plugin System: Extend functionality with custom plugins (includes Pomodoro, Weather, and more).
• 🔒 Privacy First: No keystroke logging, strictly local AI processing, and zero analytics tracking.
