I have to say the two widgets that warrant the dashboards existence are – Degrees Down Under, real time feed of the current temp from the Bureau of Meteorology and what one may call its sister application Weather Australia – a seven day forecast (the inbuilt Apple one just didn’t cut it).

At 7.15pm it is 15.1 and will be tomorrow – lovely.

It has coined a new saying that if anyone wants to know the weather, just F12 it.

I’d love to say I use dashboard but I disabled it after it repeatedly was using 100% processor. So now dashboard no more and I honestly don’t miss it.

Amnesty Singles is a shareware app that lets you run widgets as standalone apps. It's only ~$10 and has a free trial. Really, a great little piece of software.

Weather Channel widget (use it every morning)
Xcuts (mac keyboard shortcuts)
Dashlytics Google Analytics Widget
Istat Pro

These are by far the most used widgets for me.
