Delta Widgets vs Mango Mirror

Delta Widgets is a free, open-source Windows app for creating desktop widgets without code. Its visual drag-and-drop editor supports built-in templates, layouts made from scratch, custom HTML/CSS, and widgets built from URLs. Widgets can display live time, system statistics, media information, and weather. Preinstalled options include date and time, media controls, an audio visualizer, weather, disks, RAM, CPU, and battery. Expressions and variables insert or format dynamic values in text and images. URL widgets can embed webpages, dashboards, web apps, or online tools, and are sandboxed to display external content only. An optional bring-your-own-key assistant supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Ollama, and OpenRouter; the maker says provider keys are encrypted on the device. Compatibility is listed for Windows 10 and Windows 11, with Windows 10 April 2018 or later required. The download page reports anonymous install and widget-enable events through Mixpanel, without personal-data tracking. The project uses the GPL-3.0 license, with documentation, GitHub issues, and Discord support.

Mango Mirror turns screens into live displays for calendars, weather, photos, news, tasks, menus, and business dashboards. A drag-and-drop editor arranges widgets; users can make multiple pages and schedule content changes by time. Displays can be managed in a browser on a phone, laptop, or tablet, with changes appearing on screen within seconds. Free includes two screen licenses, custom layouts and pages, clock, news, weather, background images, and quotes. Pro supports calendar sources including Google, Outlook, Apple iCal, Cozi, and ICS, plus task and photo services. Business adds office files, PDFs, video, website embeds, and browser snapshots. Enterprise adds Power BI, linked displays, Microsoft 365 group calendars, Teams shared calendars, and advanced snapshots. Supported screens include Samsung and LG TVs, Android/Google TV, Fire TV, tablets, Echo Show, Windows PCs, browsers, and Raspberry Pi. Pro costs $5.99 a month, Business $19.99 a month, and Enterprise $49 a month; each includes three screens. Business includes priority live chat and a 99.9% uptime SLA.
