What Delta Widgets is
Delta Widgets is a free, open-source Windows app for creating desktop widgets without writing code. Its visual drag-and-drop editor supports built-in templates, widgets built from scratch, custom HTML/CSS, and content loaded from URLs. Widgets can display live time, system statistics, media information, and weather. Pre-installed options include date and time, media controls, an audio visualizer, weather, disks, RAM, CPU, and battery. Expressions and variables let users insert and format dynamic values in widget text and images, while custom layouts let them arrange widgets. URL widgets can show webpages, dashboards, web apps, or online tools; they are described as sandboxed to display external content only. An optional assistant can use a key supplied by the user for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Ollama, or OpenRouter. The maker says provider keys are encrypted on the user’s device. The listed compatibility is Windows 10 and Windows 11, with Windows 10 April 2018 or later required. The download page says the app collects anonymous install and widget-enable events through Mixpanel and does not track personal data. Delta Widgets is licensed under GPL-3.0.
