Getting Started

NanoDash turns a small round touchscreen into a glanceable second display for your desk, driven by a cross-platform desktop app. Pick the modules you want and swipe between them on the panel:

• Clock & Weather — a digital clock, plus current conditions with an hourly and multi-day forecast.
• Calendar — an upcoming-events agenda merged from your CalDAV/ICS feeds.
• Timers & Stopwatch — named countdowns (including Pomodoro) and a centisecond stopwatch.
• System & Usage monitors — live CPU, memory, and network telemetry, plus rolling rate-limit usage for the Claude Code and Codex CLIs.
• Markets — a live watchlist of stocks, indices, crypto, and FX.
• Now Playing & Video — mirror your computer's current media session, or play a local video file straight to the panel.
• Live2D avatar — an animated character rendered on the panel.

You can also talk to NanoDash: a built-in voice assistant runs speech recognition and synthesis locally and answers through an on-screen avatar. Ask it about the weather, your calendar, or the markets, or have it set reminders, start timers, and switch the panel to any page — all by voice.

Install the app

Download the latest release for your platform:

• Windows — the .msix installer from the releases page.
• macOS — the .dmg from the releases page.
• Linux — the Flatpak bundle from the releases page.

You can run NanoDash on its own to preview the dashboard on screen; the external panel is optional.

Connect the panel

1. Plug the NanoDash touchscreen into a USB port.
2. Launch the app — it detects the panel automatically and begins mirroring the dashboard to it.
3. Swipe horizontally on the panel to move between pages; content inside a page scrolls vertically.

If the panel isn't detected, make sure no other program is holding the USB device, then reconnect it.

Configure your dashboard

Open Settings to choose which modules appear and in what order, and to enter any details a module needs (your location for weather, a calendar URL, a market watchlist, and so on). Everything you enter is stored locally on your computer — see the Privacy Policy for exactly what each module does.
