Why use Kepo desktop widgets on Mac instead of browser bookmarks or open tabs?

Kepo turns busy websites and live feeds into compact desktop widgets for Mac. Instead of leaving dozens of tabs eating RAM, your widgets sleep until you tap the global shortcut, keeping your Mac clean and fast.

Do I need to code to create a widget?

No. You can start from ready-made Store plugins, or describe the widget you want and let Kepo help create it. When you need more control, use skills and familiar tools to keep improving the widget.

What can Kepo widgets track?

Kepo widgets can cover RSS, social media, market data, website availability, timers, calculators, and most web pages.

Can Kepo work with websites that require login or internal systems?

Yes. Kepo is designed for real websites, including many pages that require login and many internal tools your team uses at work. Whether a widget can keep updating depends on your account access and the website itself.

Can I change widget size and layout?

Many plugins provide multiple widget sizes, and Kepo lets you preview those sizes before opening the plugin detail page or adding the widget in the app.

Yes. Kepo has a Free plan for getting started with the Mac app and core widgets, with paid plans for higher AI usage and cloud features.
