  • customize a status bar for linux ricing
  • install widget packs from a marketplace
  • show system stats on my desktop
  • make a macos menu bar replacement

When to choose

  • you want highly customizable desktop bars or widgets using web tech
  • you need one tool that works on windows, macos, and linux
  • you want a lightweight alternative to electron for desktop widgets

When to avoid

  • you need a full desktop environment or dock replacement with deep OS integration
  • you prefer native toolkits over web-based UIs
  • you need widgets on mobile platforms
