Übersicht
Übersicht displays output from system commands in desktop containers on macOS.
About Übersicht
Übersicht is a macOS app that runs system commands and shows their output on the desktop in small containers called widgets. The directory lists it for macOS, and the homepage describes widgets that display system information and show data such as tables, charts, and graphs.
Widgets are written in JavaScript with React's JSX syntax. Each widget sets the command to run, how often to refresh it in milliseconds, how to render the output, and its position and text color. The homepage states that the app is free to download. It also offers optional sponsorship and one-time donations to support the developer. The source does not describe any paid features, so pricing is listed as unknown.
