JSON in.
Every screen out.

Push from any source. See it on Mac, phone, or web. Here's everything under the hood.

Three ways to connect

Raw text. Structured JSON. JSONPath queries. Pick what fits your API.

Simple Value

Easiest

Point at an endpoint. Display what comes back. Done.

Response:
Online

Best for status endpoints & quick integrations

Structured Response

Most Flexible

Return our JSON format. You control titles, icons, colors-everything.

Response:
{
"items": [{
"title": "Revenue",
"value": 12450
}]
}

Best for APIs you control

JSONPath Extraction

RFC 9535

Pull specific values from any JSON response. Works with APIs you don't control.

Path: $.data.users
{"data":{"users":1234}}
1,234

Best for third-party APIs

macOS Only

No API? No problem.

Push from scripts. Watch local files. Zero cloud, zero latency.

Local Push Server

HTTP & WebSocket

Built-in server on port 9876. One curl command pushes data to every screen.

$ Push from anywhere:
curl localhost:9876/push \
-d '{"title":"Build","value":"Pass"}'

Unix Socket

Local IPC

Skip the network stack entirely. Direct IPC for maximum speed.

Instant updates, no latency

File Watcher

Monitor local files

Point at any file. See changes instantly. Logs, configs, JSON-all fair game.
