  • Is there any computer operating system that allows for desktop embedded calendar/to-dos/cards etc. I'm constantly closing my browsers and need a way to keep up to date with tasks at a glance, (currently using Trello, but not nearly enough for it to be worthwhile) without having to open Chrome. I've got a shortcut to Trello in my dock (OSX) but it just opens in Chrome. Had a dedicated app but it wasn't great / horrible UI. Does Chrome OS do something like that? Linux which I've never used? I know Google discontinued their Pixel laptop but my Pixel/Android phone has widgets and it's a dream but I don't want to stick it on a stand and have it constantly open. I just want to be able to glance and see what's next without having to resize or reopen windows and browsers etc. Literally the only alternative I can think of is getting a third monitor and opening a different browser (E.G. Firefox rather than Chrome) then leaving it running. Ugh. Or a paper calendar stuck on the wall behind the iMac.

  • Dunno if this is too simplistic, but how about stickies on the mac os dashboard?

  • both the default calendar app (for your calendar bits) + wunderlist (for your todo bits, I imagine other todo apps are available that also have widgets) can appear in the mac notifications side bar as widgets, accessible with a two finger swipe from right edge of trackpad?
    Fantastical is good and has a menu bar widget.

  • Windows 10 has a few options to enable desktop gadgets. You can either re-enable the old Windows 7 ones or use Rainmeter for more customisable stuff.
