iSlayer’s newest widget - Organized - brings multiple widgets into one. In my mind, it takes the place of the official iCal widget, the iCal Events widget, the World Clock widget, and on top of that, adds a dashboard version of the iPhone Notes application.
The widget is freely available and can be downloaded from iSlayer’s site, or from Apple’s download center. Click the image to the left for several images of the widget in action.
And while we’re talking about iSlayer, if you don’t already have the iStat pro widget, check it out! It’s a great widget for monitoring all your system stats in the same convenient place: Your Dashboard.

In preparation for Apple’s media event tomorrow (10/14/08) I added a web-clipping of twitlive.tv to my dashboard (in hopes that Leo will be allowed to do a live web-stream). I’m very excited for the event and I think there will be some pretty cool stuff revealed, but I want to know, what are your favorite Dashboard widgets? I’d love to hear your opinion, please post a comment (a link to an image would be great too) about your favorite dashboard widget. Hopefully this can be a great resource for everyone to find cool new widgets.
I’ll start, on my dashboard I have (left to right, top to bottom):
- Safari Web Clipping
- Calculator
- A Digg.com widget I made in Dashcode
- Weather
- iCal
- Stocks
- World Clock
- A countdown widget I made in Dashcode
- Dictionary
- Google
- iStat Pro
- The Harvest Dashboard Widget
Hope to hear from you soon!
