Why it exists
When templates are not enough
-
Many widget apps are built around fixed templates. That works for common information, but not for the exact web page, feed, repository, status view, or internal page you personally check.
-
Kepo is designed for custom widgets. Start from the source you care about, define the small signal you want to see, and keep the result in a shortcut-ready Mac panel.
-
The original website or app remains the place for deep work. The custom widget gives you the first glance before you decide whether to open it.
Use Cases
What can become a custom widget
A custom widget should answer one repeated question quickly.
Developer and product sources
Track GitHub releases, Product Hunt pages, Reddit threads, status pages, internal dashboards, and small product signals.
Small tools
Keep checklists, timers, formatters, calculators, monitors, and prompt-based tools near your work.
Workflow
How custom widget creation works
Keep the request narrow so the widget stays useful.
- 1
Choose one source
Start with one URL, feed, page section, repository, status page, or small workflow.
- 2
Describe the useful signal
Ask for the latest items, current status, release version, unread count, timer, checklist, or compact tool output.

Best for common data types such as weather, calendar, notes, reminders, and simple decorative widgets.
Custom Kepo widgets
Best for web pages, feeds, repositories, launch pages, dashboards, and small tools that are specific to your workflow.
