Dash v1
A privacy-first desktop dashboard for a secondary display. Showcases time, weather, and upcoming Outlook calendar events from a local web server.
Features
- Agenda : today's upcoming events, rolling into the next days.
- Click to join : events with a Teams/Zoom/Meet link open directly from dashboard.
Setup
-
Start the server from this folder:
python3 server.py # Mac/Linux py server.py # Windows
-
Open the dashboard in your browser:
-
Click the ✎ (edit) button in the top-right. The settings panel walks you through connecting your Outlook calendar, and also lets you set your city and pick a background.
Press F11 (or the fullscreen button, top-right) for a clean display.
Run it in the background (Optional - for Windows only)
So the dashboard keeps running after you close the terminal and starts itself when you log in:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\install-windows.ps1
This registers a Scheduled Task that runs the server windowlessly with
pythonw, restarts it if it ever stops, and launches it at every log on.
Then make a browser shortcut to http://127.0.0.1:5173/ (or open it with
--kiosk for a dedicated display).
To remove it:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\uninstall-windows.ps1
Notes
- Use Windows PowerToys to lock this tab on your secondary display
- Your settings are saved privately to
config.json. - Outlook regenerates published calendar feeds on its own schedule, so a brand-new event can take a while to appear.
- If nothing shows up, check
http://127.0.0.1:5173/api/eventsto see the raw data or error.
