What it does
Native macOS app that transforms system stats into interactive 3D objects. Monitor network speed, CPU usage, battery, and more through smooth, animated visuals that live on your desktop. Designed to feel fast, minimal, and alive - not like traditional widgets. More collections, animated objects, and new system modules for deeper insights are already in development and coming soon
Native macOS app showing network speed, audio, battery and CPU as interactive 3D objects.
Tell adds interactive desktop objects for audio, network, CPU, shortcuts, and battery - plus Centre Glance for a compact, glanceable view at the centre of your desktop. Runs from the menu bar so it stays out of the way until needed. Your desktop objects appear instantly; drag them where you want. Hide the window frame so modules sit directly on the desktop layer. Open Settings to assign object styles and map each module’s job. Transparent desktop layer - not the built-in macOS widget stack. What Tell can show - system signals as objects you keep on screen. Monitor battery percentage and charging state through live desktop visuals. See what's currently playing across Spotify, YouTube, Apple…from trytell.app

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
