Instagram desktop widgets

Track profiles, hashtags, Explore items, inbox activity, and notifications from a compact desktop surface.

Instagram work often starts with a small check and turns into a long scroll.

You may only need to see whether an account posted, whether a hashtag has new visible posts, or whether there is new inbox or notification activity.

Kepo keeps those repeated checks in small widgets so Instagram can support your workflow without becoming the workflow.

The goal is not to rebuild Instagram. It is to keep the parts you check repeatedly within reach.

Who needs Instagram widgets

Creators can watch their own account and related hashtags. Researchers can follow public profiles and Explore content. Operators can keep inbox and notification activity visible.

The plugin is useful when Instagram is part of the workday, but should not take over the workday.

Profiles, hashtags, Explore, messages, and notifications

Profile Summary and Profile Grid focus on one account. Hashtag Grid follows one simple hashtag. Explore Grid shows the currently visible Explore surface.

Unread Messages and Notifications help you notice account activity without keeping Instagram open all the time.

Read-only checks with exact inputs

Profile widgets use the exact username you enter. Hashtag Grid uses the exact hashtag without the # prefix.

The plugin is read-only. It does not post content, send messages, or manage your account.
