What is free and what is paid
If you want free Mac widgets, start with the built-in macOS widget gallery and the widgets provided by apps you already use.
Kepo adds ready-made widgets for repeated checks and small tools, and developers can use Kepo Skills to build and run local custom widgets for free.
The built-in AI creation flow is paid. It is a convenience layer for people who want Kepo to help create a custom widget from a page or source without manually developing the widget.
