Open source personal dashboards

Dashboards for accessing information and applications. This page ranks 19 open-source personal dashboards projects by a health score recomputed every night from repository data; nothing else affects the order. Dashy leads at 98/100 with 297 commits in the last 90 days and 27k stars, followed by Glance (98) and Homepage by gethomepage (98). 13 of the 19 score 70 or above, 16 publish a Docker image, and the median health is 86. MIT is the most common licence, carried by 10 of them. Between them they stand in for Linktree. The score weighs commits in the last 90 days, release recency, stars, archive status and Docker support; a low number means low measurable activity, not low quality, so a finished, stable tool can legitimately sit lower down.
