Live activities are already in the Dynamic Island of iPhone, CarPlay Dashboard, Apple Watch, iPad, and iPhone Duo. Previously, live activities appeared in the menu bar of your Mac, mirrored from a nearby iOS device. With Dynamic Island on Mac, the same timely information appears in a familiar way, and you get all this with the same code you'd use on iOS. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Do I need separate code to support live activities on Mac versus iOS? No, native live activities on Mac through Golden Gate use the same code you'd use on iOS. Previously, Mac only showed live activities mirrored from a nearby iOS device in the menu bar; now they appear natively in a Dynamic Island on Mac without extra platform-specific code. _Developers tracking new Apple platform APIs like this often follow release coverage on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Workout Live Activity on iPhone: Lock Screen & Dynamic Island](https://daily.dev/posts/workout-live-activity-on-iphone-lock-screen-dynamic-island-k9ag3epui) · Hacker News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Let’s talk Live activities\!](https://daily.dev/posts/let-s-talk-live-activities--vsyx4n03l) · Medium · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [The React Native Live Activities Handbook: How to Build iOS Live Activities and Android 16 Live Updates](https://daily.dev/posts/the-react-native-live-activities-handbook-how-to-build-ios-live-activities-and-android-16-live-upda-zpnvakxef) · freeCodeCamp · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#apple](https://daily.dev/tags/apple), [#ios](https://daily.dev/tags/ios), [#mac](https://daily.dev/tags/mac) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/bring-your-live-activities-to-mac-1xuuqg2qc) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Bring your Live Activities to Mac","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/bring-your-live-activities-to-mac-1xuuqg2qc","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/bring-your-live-activities-to-mac-1xuuqg2qc"},"datePublished":"2026-11-07T01:22:36.855Z","dateModified":"2026-11-07T01:22:54.148Z","description":"Dynamic Island is now on Mac, and Golden Gate brings native live activities to your apps.
