Product Description:

Amnesty Widget Browser is a utility for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger that allows Dashboard widgets to live directly on your Desktop via a convenient icon in your system menu bar.


Widgets loaded in Amnesty Widget Browser run completely independent of Apple's Dashboard environment, maintain their own preferences and feature additional properties such as window depth and opacity.


For widgets junkies, Amnesty Widget Browser is a great way to sample third-party widgets outside of Dashboard. And for widget developers, Amnesty Widget Browser makes a perfect rapid testing environment* (instead of loading widgets in Safari).

Can someone comment on the difference between Amnesty Widget Browser and the Amnesty Singles? The developer's website doesn't specifically address this....

Amnesty Widget Browser CommentaryAmnesty is Superb - Version: 1.4, 10/28/2007 12:24AM PST

I have used Amnesty since its inception. It works precisely as advertised. I places any widget in your library in your finder environment either as a floating window or just on your desktop. You have full control over placement of each widget and can reduce the size and transparency to your own specific needs. You can lock them in place and disable click activation as you wish. I find that my user environment is much poorer without Amnesty. I use clocks, weather, monitoring widgets, currency calcular, calculators etc. Their ever presence on the desktop provides rich online (live)feedback at a glance.

I too notice that Apples weather widget continually creeps up the screen with each restart. It does this on all Mac configurations. This is the only widget that behaves like this, and according to certain threads is due to memory leaks and other issues with this widget, not a problem with Amnesty. The price I think is reasonable, so I can fully recommend Anmesty to any potential user. In fact I have never had cause to ask the developer for help. Enjoy!

Hi Kevin, this is the first we've heard of this particular issue -- can you please contact our customer support and explain what you're seeing? A screenshot would be best. We should be able to figure out why this is happening on your particular system. Thanks!
