What is Kepo?

Mac desktop widgets that turn websites, RSS feeds, social feeds, and live APIs into configurable, shortcut-accessible desktop components.

Use ready-made widgets or let AI generate custom widgets from natural-language descriptions.

Widgets run locally on macOS, support authenticated web sessions, and refresh in the background to surface real-time updates.

A global keyboard shortcut opens a floating panel so multiple widgets are available without keeping browser tabs open.

Built-in store and gallery include feed, market data, developer, and monitoring widgets; developers can create, edit, or integrate internal dashboards and scripts.

Flexible data polling and a compact UI keep live feeds and metrics visible while reducing browser tab clutter.

Create a unified internal operations dashboard using Kepo to surface authenticated web tools (Jira, CI/CD, Grafana) as local macOS widgets that auto-refresh in the background and open instantly via a global shortcut panel — giving engineers one-keystroke access to deployment status, build failures and incident links without re-authenticating
