Live Activities
Ledge replaces the macOS pop-ups, and adds the ones it never had. Each slides out of the notch, then steps aside. Turn on only the ones you want.

Where they go
- The most important activity takes the place beside the camera. Up to two more can sit in side pills next to it.
- HUDs like volume and brightness open beside the notch, or as a card below it, as you choose.
- While a song plays, a small pill with its cover and wave stays in the notch until something more important comes along.
From add-ons
Add-ons can show live activities too, such as a countdown. They always come after Ledge's own, and each add-on's page in Settings has a Show beside the notch switch to turn them off. See an add-on's settings.
