Widgets

Turn on the Widgets page and it joins the tab pill under the open notch: a row of icons, each opening a small tool in place.

The widgets

WidgetWhat it does
System StatsCPU, memory, battery and disk, in the notch
WeatherThe weather where you are, or in a city you choose
Text CaptureDrag over any text on screen, and Ledge reads it on this Mac and copies it

Choose which icons show in Settings → General → Widgets. Add-ons can add their own widgets to the same page.

Weather

Current location asks macOS for this Mac's location the first time the widget opens; City uses a place you type. Ledge sends the spot, rounded to about a kilometre, to Open-Meteo for the forecast. Choose Celsius or Fahrenheit in the same place.

Text Capture

  1. Choose Text Capture on the Widgets page.
  2. Drag over the text you want. Press Escape to cancel.
  3. Ledge reads it on this Mac and copies it, each line on its own line, or joined into one paragraph if you prefer.
