Widgetscape

Widgetscape is a native desktop widget tool designed specifically for macOS.

It offers 31 widgets covering time, productivity, system monitoring, and lifestyle information, displaying schedules, weather, music playback, hardware status, and development activities directly on the desktop. The software uses a unified grid layout, supports eight sizes, each with its own independently designed content arrangement. Widgets automatically snap to each other when dragged, or can be freely placed. Users can customize the appearance with 23 color schemes, light and dark modes, and four surface styles: glass, solid, stroke, and transparent. Widgetscape Users can also set the position for different monitors and desktop spaces. Key features include a Day Timeline that displays schedules along the screen edge, Widgetscape Token Pulse that reads logs from local AI programming tools, and Repo Pulse that displays Git branches and changes. The “Now Playing” widget supports media information and playback controls for Music, Spotify, Safari, and Chrome. Developed in Swift, the software does not rely on web views and only redraws when content changes; invisible widgets do not stop working. Each component clearly explains the data it reads and the permissions it grants. Calendar and Mail connect directly to service providers, Weather only sends coordinates with an accuracy of about one kilometer to Apple Weather, and anonymous usage statistics can be turned off. It is compatible with Macs equipped with Apple chips and running macOS 14 or later, and has been certified by Apple.
