WebDesktop

I just love my website, and now I don’t need to even open a browser to look at it! Thanks to WebDesktop. WebDesktop has the ability to open any website in a window that layers under your desktop, but over your background.

Steven Frank, co-founder of Panic Software, made the app using WebKit on Mac, so WebDesktop will render exactly how Safari does. When you bring the window on top, it is a fully functional window -you can scroll down and input forms. The preferences all you to change the optimality of the window when it is inactive and for when it is active. Also, the refresh rate of of the window can be adjusted so that you can stay updated.

If you don’t think your going to use, you missing out on:

• Tracking the orbit of satellites
• Monitoring servers / network operations center
• Monitoring stock quotes
• Keeping an eye on an eBay auction during the last few minutes
• Staying up-to-the-minute on news
• Monitoring a live webcams
• Viewing current TV listings
• Tracking weather conditions
• Tracking sports scores

The best thing about WebDesktop is that it’s free! You can download it here, the 72 KB file won’t waste any space.
