| Fact | DeskDash | SAWAS Dashboard |
|---|---|---|
| Headquarters | Chiajna, Ilfov County, Romania | Gaschurn, Austria |
| Privacy | The privacy policy says the app has no analytics or crash reporting software, while license checks and marketplace requests send specified data to DeskDash servers. | The maker says there is no telemetry, cloud service or sign-in and that dashboard data stays on the PC. |
| Purpose | DeskDash places live, interactive widgets on the Windows desktop wallpaper, where they sit behind normal windows. | SAWAS Dashboard is a modular desktop widget that stays visible behind normal windows and combines clock, system, network, notes, favorites and support link modules. |
| Requirements | The download page lists Windows 10 or 11 64 bit, around 100 MB of disk space, and an internet connection for license activation and widget installation. | The FAQ lists Windows 11, Python 3.10 or newer, PyQt5 and psutil, and says the installation uses less than 100 MB of disk space. |
| Support | DeskDash is built by one developer, and messages sent through the contact link reach that developer directly; the site also links to Discord. | For startup troubleshooting, the maker directs users to run start_debug.bat and email the resulting output. |
