Syllo workflows and tradeoffs

Drag a file onto Syllo's Shelf, keep it pinned while you work and use Transform for a supported local conversion or compression task. Then drag the file into the next app. See the Shelf and Transform guides for the available actions.

DynamicLake also publishes file actions and audio/video conversion, and offers a plugin market. Syllo's distinction is its built-in workflow across Windows x64 and Apple Silicon, using one account on one computer at a time. It has no third-party plugin store, so check any DynamicLake plugins you depend on before switching.

Which to choose

DynamicLake may suit you better if:

  • You want weather and call notifications in the notch.
  • You want a Mac-focused app with its own plugin system.
  • Check the current system requirements if you use an Intel Mac.

Syllo may suit you better if:

  • You also use a Windows PC.
  • You want Transform, the clipboard history and capture.
  • You want coding agents and MCP in the notch.

Switching to Syllo

  1. Quit DynamicLake first, so only one app uses the notch.
  2. Install Syllo from the Download page and sign in.
  3. Pick your tabs, Home tiles and drop tiles in Settings, and import your clipboard history in Settings → Clipboard.
