description: "Brett Terpstra's project for surfacing command-line output as a desktop widget — quick-glance status without a Terminal window open."
---
Stick the output of any shell command (build status, disk usage, weather, your inbox count) onto the desktop as a small widget. Refreshes on a timer or on demand. The win is reducing the constant context-switch of `cmd-tab to Terminal → run command → cmd-tab back`. Open source from Brett, the author of TextExpander and Marked.
