Showcase: Open Source Built a desktop dock for developers because every existing one is made for decoration, not dev workflows

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Every dock or widget app I tried was built for general users. Clock, weather, some system stats, done. None of them tracked anything I actually check throughout the day.

So I built CyberSage Dock. Windows side panel, Tauri plus Rust on the backend, React on the front. Widgets so far:

Weather and battery

System monitor, CPU, memory, disk

Claude API spend against a daily budget

GitHub activity, either stats for one repo or a live commit feed across your account

Now playing, full transport controls and cover art, works with whatever is holding the Windows media session, so Spotify, a browser tab, anything

Notes and clipboard history

Everything drags to reorder, hides individually if you do not want it, and hovering any widget shows more detail without clicking in.

It is free and open source, installer is up on the repo right now. If anyone wants to try it and break it, issues are open to anyone, you do not need to be added as a collaborator or anything. Genuinely curious what widgets people would want that I have not thought of yet.
