IslandNotify turns the Dynamic Island into your personal hub. Pin the things that matter right now — a pasta timer, a 16:8 fast, today's water habit, a countdown to your trip, a live match score, a quick note — and keep them one glance away, without opening anything. WHAT LIVES ON THE ISLAND • Timers — cooking, workouts, focus sessions and fasts, with a live countdown and progress bar • Habits — water, steps, pages, reps; tap to bump the count and watch it fill • Reminders — due-time tasks with a live “due in” countdown • Countdowns — birthdays, trips, exams, kickoff • Goals — savings and fitness targets with progress • Quick Notes — parking spot, gate and seat, door codes • Sports — manual live scores for any match you're watching or playing YOUR DAY, ASSEMBLED The Today tab builds a timeline automatically from what you track: last night's sleep at your real wake time, step milestones as you cross them, water you've logged, workouts from Health, timers that finished, fasting stages you passed — all above the NOW line — followed by what's coming: due reminders, timer ends, habit close-out, wind-down. SMART PINS Context-aware suggestions for right now — a due reminder, your live step goal, a fasting window after dinner, screen-free time before bed. One tap puts them on the island. PULSE Steps, active energy, resting heart rate, sleep and water from Apple Health, with 14-day trends and plain-language insights. DISCOVER A searchable catalog of dozens of templates across Health & Fitness, Productivity, Cooking, Travel, Finance, Celebrations, Home, Study, Mindfulness and Sports.
