Duckboard
What it is
Duckboard is a desktop app for turning chosen parts of websites into live, interactive widgets arranged on dashboards. Users can select webpage sections to keep as widgets or create custom widgets with HTML or embed code. Its library offers more than 1,900 presets, with examples for YouTube, X, weather, and productivity tools. The site also presents dashboard examples for morning, learning, building, and finance workflows, and describes Duckboard as private by design. Downloads are available for macOS and Windows. Mac versions are offered for Apple silicon systems with M1, M2, M3, M4, or newer chips, as well as Intel-based Macs. The Windows download is for 64-bit Windows 10 and 11 PCs. The download page says the app is free and requires no sign-up or credit card. The Free plan includes one dashboard, up to three widgets, and email support. Extended is a one-time upgrade costing $29, paid once, with one dashboard, unlimited widgets, and email support.
