Notchify for WindowsLooking for Alcove on Windows?
Alcove is made for the Mac. Notchify brings the same idea, a living island at the top of your screen, to Windows 10 and 11.
Last checked: October 2026
Short answer: Alcove is a macOS app that brings a Dynamic Island-style experience to the MacBook notch, focused on live activities such as media and device status, and it is not available for Windows. If
you want something like it on your PC, Notchify is a native Windows app that does the
same kind of job, without needing a notch.
