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.
