🏝️ Dynamic Island

Located at the top, the Dynamic Island is a smart control hub that offers contextual controls based on your status.

Quick Actions

The dynamic island keeps every common action on one bar. The search box sits on the left; to its right, in order: add window (+), layout list, media controls, favourites list, save the current canvas, share the canvas, fullscreen, clear the canvas, back to home, and settings.

A canvas with one live stream and its chat, with the dynamic island along the bottom: search box on the left, a row of action buttons on the right
Move your cursor to the very bottom of the screen and the dynamic island slides up

Quick Buttons Tour

The quick buttons on the right half are all one click away: fullscreen toggles the browser in and out of fullscreen; the bin clears every window on the canvas (it asks for confirmation first); the house takes you home; and the gear opens Favorites Manager → Global settings.

Edge dock style

Finding the island at the top gets in the way? In Favorites Manager → Global settings → Appearance, switch the dynamic island style to Edge dock: the control bar moves to the left or right edge of the screen, shrinking to a thin strip and expanding only when your cursor comes close. Size (small, medium, large) and which side it docks to are set in the same place. This setting applies to the desktop version only.

With edge dock enabled, the control bar shrinks to a thin strip on the left edge with a small chevron in the middle
If the island at the bottom gets in the way, dock it to the left or right edge instead
The edge dock expanded into a vertical menu: search channels, add window, layout settings, media controls, favourites, save the current canvas, share the canvas, fullscreen, clear the canvas, back to home, global settings
Click the thin strip and it opens — the same actions as the island at the bottom
