LevityDash

A lightweight, desktop native, multisource dashboard for macOS, Windows and Linux

LevityDash aims to be a lightweight, desktop native, multisource dashboard without a required web frontend. The current version only supports PySide2/Qt. However, a key goal of this project is to support multiple frontends and platforms, including embedded.

Note: This project is very much in the proof of concept stage – it functions, but it is far from the goal of a lightweight dashboard.

Current Features

Backend

• Plugin system for adding new sources
