Your menu bar,
full-screen.
Pop the Live Deck out of its 480×460 popover into a resizable window. Each plugin becomes a real card showing the history behind its number — the AI-usage window and per-model split, a CPU and memory sparkline, GitHub PR titles, upcoming meetings, watched ports. Cards reflow 5, 4, or 3 columns as you drag the window wider.
A resizable window of live cards — one per plugin you run.
A popover is small on purpose. Sometimes you want the whole picture.
FavTray's Live Deck packs every plugin into a 480×460 menu-bar popover — one tile, one number each. That's the right size for a quick glance, but it hides the trend behind each figure: how your AI usage is splitting across models, whether the CPU spike is passing or climbing, which PRs are actually open.
Board pops that same deck out into a resizable window. Each tile expands into a card with the history behind its number, and the grid reflows to fit however wide you make it. It isn't a new tool — it's the tools you already run, given room to breathe.
The same deck, with room for detail
The Popover, Un-boxed
The Live Deck normally lives in a 480×460 popover. Board pops that same deck into a real, resizable window you can park on a second screen and leave open all day.
Every Number Gets Its History
In the popover a plugin is a single tile with one figure. On the Board that tile becomes a full card showing the trend behind the number — the window, the split, the sparkline.
AI Usage, Broken Down
The AI-usage card shows your current window and a per-model split — Claude, Codex, and the rest — instead of one collapsed total.
System at a Glance
A CPU and memory sparkline traces the last stretch of load, so a spike is something you see rather than a single live percentage.
Work Cards
GitHub PR titles, your upcoming meetings, and the ports FavTray is watching each get a card — the detail the menu-bar tile only hints at.
Columns That Reflow
Cards lay out 5, 4, or 3 across depending on how wide you drag the window. Make it a strip along the top or a full grid on a spare monitor.
Every plugin, as a card
Whatever tools you've turned on show up on the Board. Each card renders from data already on your Mac — no extra setup, nothing new to install.
AI Usage
Current usage window with a per-model split — Claude, Codex, and the rest — not one collapsed total.
System Info
A CPU and memory sparkline over recent time, so load reads as a trend instead of a single number.
GitHub
Open PR titles and their status, laid out so you can read them without opening a browser tab.
Meetings
Your next few events with times, expanded from the countdown the menu-bar tile shows.
Port Kill
The ports FavTray is watching, listed as a card you can scan at a glance.
Every Plugin
Each active plugin becomes its own card. The Board reflects whatever tools you've turned on.
Prefer a list? Toggle it with ⌘\
List mode is a second layout for the popover itself — not the Board, and not a separate tool. Switch to it from the footer or with ⌘\ and the tile grid collapses into one dense 26pt row per plugin, keyboard-navigable top to bottom. Use it when you want a fast scan; pop the Board out when you want the full grid of cards.
For when a glance isn't enough
Second-monitor dashboards
Park the Board on a spare display and leave it open — a live grid of your usage, system load, PRs, and meetings without touching the menu bar.

What is the Board pop-out?
Board pops FavTray's Live Deck out of its 480×460 menu-bar popover into a resizable window. Each plugin becomes a full card that shows the history behind its number — usage windows, sparklines, PR titles, upcoming meetings — instead of a single tile figure.
Is the Board a separate tool I have to install?
No. Board isn't a plugin of its own — it's a way to view the tools you already run. It shows a card for each plugin you've enabled, so there's nothing extra to set up.
How is it different from the menu-bar popover?
The popover is compact: one tile per plugin, one number each, in a fixed 480×460 panel. The Board opens the same deck as a resizable window where each tile expands into a card with the trend and detail behind that number, and the cards reflow 5, 4, or 3 columns as you resize.
What is List mode?
List mode is a second popover layout you toggle to from the footer or with ⌘\. Instead of the tile grid it shows one dense 26pt row per plugin, keyboard-navigable — handy when you want a fast scan rather than the full deck. It's a view toggle, like the Board, not a separate tool.
Can I keep the Board open on a second monitor?
Yes. Because it's a real window you can move it to any display, resize it, and leave it open — a strip along the top of a spare screen or a full grid of cards while you work on the main one.
Does it work on Apple Silicon Macs?
Yes. FavTray runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel Macs, and requires macOS Sonoma 14.0 or later.
Is my data private?
Completely. Every card renders from data computed on your Mac — usage history, system load, PRs, meetings, ports. No account, no cloud sync, no telemetry. Nothing about how you work leaves your machine.
