What it does
Wokyintosh is a free, open-source macOS dashboard inspired by the classic Macintosh. It combines a large clock and date, local weather, Apple Music and Spotify Now Playing with artwork, plus live CPU, RAM, SSD and network stats. I built it for my Wokyis M5 Retro Dock Station after months of not finding the dashboard I wanted — even among paid apps.
A retro Macintosh-inspired system monitor for macOS. - SalarFarahani/Wokyintosh
A small native macOS dashboard for live system stats, weather, and Now Playing — designed to feel at home on a retro Mac-inspired setup. After several months of owning a Wokyis M5 Retro Dock Station , I still couldn't find the dashboard/widget I actually wanted for its display — not even a paid one. With the help of ChatGPT and a vibe-coding approach, that idea became Wokyintosh : a small native macOS system monitor designed around the kind of retro dashboard I wanted to see on my own setup. It started as a personal project for my M5 Retro Dock Station, but I decided to make it public in case other Mac users were looking for something similar. Wokyintosh 1.0 is currently distributed without…from github.com
