GAget – Google Analytics Widget for OS X Dashboard

Posted on August 9, 2011 by Zoltan - 7 Comments

I was looking for a Google Analytics widget for my dashboard all around the web and to my biggest surprise I only found two that was working: Dashalytics by Rovingrob, and the cleverly named Analytics Widget by Adrian Kenny. The first one has a lot of great features regarding the data but looks aweful, the second one looks nice but doesn’t have many features, so neither of these seemed ideal…

I did a little research on OS X dashboard development and gladly found that all the widgets are developed in HTML, CSS and JavaScript languages, all which I’m really familiar with due to web development. So I started downloading Xcode from the Mac App Store and opened Photoshop to create a layout plan for the widget. The first draft got kind of popular on Dribbble, so I know I was going the right way with it.

Very nice widget… would love to see the realtime data in this one, or a complimentary one.

Hi, this is a great clean app, I love it, but i’ve just wondering, you’ve stated that the app could be installed on multiple instances on the same mahcine but when I try to do this it tries to overwrite the first one, can you please explain how can we accomplish this.

Many thanks!!

You can press the plus icon in the bottom left on your Dashboard. This opens the widgets, you find GAget and drag it onto the Dashboard area.

Nice gadget. However, I don’t feel confortable providing my account user/password. OAuth support is really a must.
