I use Dashboard a lot, but mostly just to check the weather or the time before I call my parents*. I have the Facebook widget but wouldn't really miss it if it went away. I used to use a widget that showed my Netflix queue. I used to use it a lot back when it actually worked right.
#NOTEFILE WIDGET MAC MOVIE#
For some reason Apple's movie widget works correctly about 25% of the time (can't seem to actually get a data from the server). I don't think I've ever used the search widget, even though it might be more efficient than starting up Safari to do a search. Nice to have quick access to a dictionary/thesaurus. I could never find a good stock quote widget that I liked. I have weather and a clock for each of three different locations (where I visit a lot because family members live). Widgets are great for a small subset of information. No mention of Notefile? I think it's far superior to Apple's solution of a Mac App dedicated to syncing Notes. And if they included iCloud support, more iOS apps could work in conjunction with companion Dashboard widgets.Įdit: Didn't realize Delivery Status was also JuneCloud. I think a Dashboard widget section of the Mac App Store would totally reinvigorate the Dashboard. I sincerely hope widgets get renewed support from Apple. Obviously spotlight could do a lot of this, but you can type in entire functions that are transcribed from the work you have up in your current desktop. It looks like a chalkboard, but you just type in math and it gives you answers. I would love it if you interviewed the Junecloud guys about it.Ĭalcboard is my other heavily used widget. This note will be in the Notefile app the next time I sync it.
I often pull up the overlay and then type in a quick note about something I have up behind the dashboard.
#NOTEFILE WIDGET MAC FULL#
The iOS app is similar to Apple's Notes, but instead of syncing with a full on app, it syncs with a Dashboard widget. Notefile is the single best implementation of widget and iOS app that I can think of. I thought the whole point of it was easily glanceable information, for both the widgets, and the work you're doing behind it. First Off - having the Dashboard occupy its own space, instead of as an overlay, completely undermines its utility.
