How to Do more with widgets in macOS

1 iStatistica

Tired of opening Activity Monitor to check performance? Get info in real time. This app is $4.99, but a free demo is available at imagetasks.com, along with a plug-in to read fan and temperature data.

2 Parcel Delivery Tracking

Don’t be out when couriers call — keep track of what’s on the way with a quick click on the Today view. Parcel includes US couriers such as GSO and Loomis Express. It’s also available for iOS.

3 MiniPlay

iTunes comes with a widget, but this one beats it with the simple but essential benefit of supporting Spotify too. Start playing in either app; the widget shows art, plus playback and volume controls.
