Kepo

Hi Fazier! Kepo helps you bring the information you check repeatedly into a personal Mac widget panel. You can start with plugins or describe a custom widget to AI. I would love to hear which website, feed, or small tool you keep reopening during your day, and what would make it useful as a widget. Thanks for taking a look!

Hi Fazier! The idea of consolidating the sites, feeds, and small tools you keep reopening into a single Mac widget panel is a smart angle on daily workflow friction. I especially like the dual approach — starting from a plugin for known workflows versus describing a custom widget to AI for things an existing app can't handle. The use case that resonates most for me is keeping GitHub activity and RSS feeds visible without constantly juggling tabs. Curious how you balance the AI-assisted widget creation with reliable scheduled data refresh, since refresh timing tends to be where personal dashboards either feel effortless or fall apart. Thanks for sharing!

Love the idea of describing a widget instead of building it. Can the widgets pull live data, like a calendar or a stock price, or are they mostly static layouts?

I like the idea of bringing custom Mac widgets and AI-powered workflows into one place. The ability to turn useful information into personalized widgets sounds especially helpful for keeping everyday tasks organized. Curious to see how much customization users can do with different data sources and workflows!

Building a widget by describing it to the AI is a nice way to skip the usual setup, and the RSS and GitHub plugins cover what I check daily. For the website-based widgets, how often can the scheduled refresh run, and does it keep working when the Mac wakes from sleep?

Simple and does exactly one thing well. Does it keep the transparent background when exporting as PNG? That's what I usually need for avatars.

Generating a custom Mac widget from a short description could save a lot of tinkering if the result stays a real desktop widget rather than a heavy web view. I'd want to know whether those widgets keep updating after the Mac sleeps, since live data is what makes one worth the space.

Love the idea of pulling the info I actually follow into one panel instead of keeping 10 tabs open — the GitHub activity + RSS combo especially makes sense for devs. A few questions/suggestions: How often do widgets refresh, and does it affect battery life when many are running? When the AI generates a widget from a description, can I tweak the result manually (layout, data source, refresh interval), or do I re-prompt? It’d be great to see a small gallery of community-made widgets/plugins — that would help new users understand what’s possible in the first 5 minutes. Also curious how you handle sites that require login. Congrats on the launch!

Describing a widget in plain words rather than building it is a good idea. Can a widget refresh on a schedule, like an RSS feed checking every hour?

Turning “tabs I keep reopening” into widgets is a nice framing. What would make me trust a website-based widget is knowing when its data is stale: a small “updated X min ago” and a clear error state when the site changes its HTML and the extraction breaks. How does Kepo handle that today — does the AI regenerate the selector, or alert the user? Also curious whether widgets can be exported so others can install the same one.

Congrats on the launch.

Turning RSS feeds and website updates into desktop widgets is a nice way to cut down on open tabs. How does the scheduled refresh work for sites without a feed? Does it re-check the page on a fixed interval, and can I limit it to one section of the page so layout changes don't break the widget?

The scheduled refresh on website-based widgets is the feature that makes this more than a novelty - a widget that shows stale data trains you to stop looking at it. For the GitHub plugin, does it support watching a specific repo's releases or issues, or is it broader activity? Release-watch widgets would be genuinely useful for tracking dependencies.

Turning a web page into a widget with scheduled refresh is the part I'd use most, for example a Search Console clicks tile. How do website-based widgets handle pages that need a login: do they reuse a browser session or need an API key? And if a site changes its layout, does the widget flag that the data went stale, or keep showing the last value?
