## What it is
An extensible dashboard startup screen for Emacs, showing recent files, projects, bookmarks, and agenda items when Emacs launches. It is written in Emacs Lisp and configured as an Emacs package.

- display recent files and projects on emacs startup
- customize my emacs welcome screen with widgets
- see org agenda items on the emacs dashboard
- replace the default emacs scratch buffer with a dashboard

## When to choose
- you use Emacs daily and want an informative, customizable startup screen
- you want quick access to recent files, projects, and agenda from one buffer

## When to avoid
