Kepo

Kepo is a Mac app for building custom desktop widgets from any website, RSS feed, live API, internal dashboard, or custom script. Users describe the widget they want in natural language, and Kepo AI builds it, places it in a panel, and refreshes it on a schedule. The panel is opened with a global keyboard shortcut (shown as ⌥ Space) and can appear over full-screen apps. The page says Kepo runs locally on the Mac and supports sessions for authenticated web pages. It also offers a store of ready-made widgets and a Windows waitlist. Pricing includes a free plan, a Pro plan, a lifetime local unlock option, and custom Enterprise options.
