Monitor Flows
What it is
Monitor Flows is Windows software for keeping customizable desktop widgets visible without switching apps. Its library includes more than 50 widgets across nine categories, with examples such as weather forecasts, terminal emulators, color pickers, and 3D globes. A drag-and-drop editor lets users arrange and resize widgets, and appearance settings include opacity, blur, accent colors, themes, and backgrounds. Video can keep playing, radio can keep streaming, and web pages can stay loaded while switching widget pages. Listed integrations include Spotify, Google Assistant, Philips Hue, Discord, YouTube, GitHub, Twitch, Steam, Slack, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, WLED, and OpenWeather. It supports Windows 10 and 11, including Home and Pro editions; macOS and Linux support are being explored for the 2026 roadmap. The free plan includes 15 core widgets, three pages, and five themes with no time limit or credit card requirement. Pro costs $3 a month; Max costs $49 a year and includes API access and dedicated support with a stated 24-hour response period. The pricing FAQ says configurations and credentials are stored locally and the product does not collect telemetry, usage analytics, or personal information.
