Live widgets

Every plugin emits a typed event — count, status, list, alert. Cards render in a responsive grid that collapses to a single column in the sidebar.

Plugin protocol

Python sidecars. Write a 20-line script, drop it in plugins/, the host discovers + polls it. No SDK, no server.

Multiple layouts

Pin one dashboard per context — Comms, Revenue, Infra, Personal. Tabs at the top, drag to reorder, right-click to duplicate.

Sidebar mode

Dock against the screen edge, peek-collapse to a 6px strip, auto-collapse when you click away. Auto-collapse delay is user-tunable.

Three densities

Comfortable cards, Compact column, Minimal single-line feed. Each surface (sidebar / main window) picks independently.

Local-first

Plugin data lives on your machine. Cloud account is opt-in and only stores layouts + team relay metadata — never your widget values.

Plugins shipped today

Each plugin is a Python sidecar that emits widget events. The bundled set covers the signals most solo operators reach for — write your own in 20 lines.
