I wanted a desktop that worked the way I do. So I built widgets for Übersicht.

I tried several desktop apps, but none let me arrange information the way I wanted. Übersicht is a free macOS app that lets web-powered widgets live on the desktop. I started building the small tools I wanted to see every day.

Built on Übersicht.

Übersicht is a free, open-source macOS app for placing web-powered widgets directly on your desktop.

It gave me the flexibility to build a desktop around the information I actually use.
