OS X has the Dashboard to keep widgets at your beck and call but sometimes it’s nice to just have some essential information always on your desktop. That’s the simple premise behind our mostly Freeware of the Moment, Stattoo by Panic, a little bar that sits on the desktop with customizable widgets or "capsules" full of information. The basic ones have date and time, disk space, temperature, iTunes Now Playing, battery level and unread email in them. Stattoo is free but after 15 days some of the modules stop working. It’s $12.95 to prevent that from happening.
