## What it is
A collection of widgets for the Awesome Window Manager (v4.3+), written in Lua, covering system stats, media players, and developer service integrations. Widgets are cloned into ~/.config/awesome and required from rc.lua.

## Use cases
- show battery, CPU, and RAM usage in the awesome wibar
- display Spotify or MPD playback controls on my status bar
- see pending Jira, GitHub PRs, or Gerrit reviews from the desktop
- show available APT or pacman package updates
- add a volume and brightness control widget to awesome
- show weather and a calendar in the awesome panel
- add a pomodoro timer to my window manager bar

## When to avoid
- you use a different window manager or desktop environment like GNOME or KDE
- you need a full desktop panel application rather than awesome-specific widgets
