Program Guide
Everything the app actually does.
Arrange it, style it, group it, switch it, share it, sync it.
Ready-made snippets
About 106 quintlets you add in one click, in plain-English categories, from Clock to Local Radar to Rocket Launches. Many have a form: a date picker, a city picker, a checklist. See the code first if you like.
Arrange mode
Drag quintlets where you want them and resize from the corner handle. They snap to each other, the screen margin and an optional grid with dashed guides; hold ⌘ to bypass. ⇧-click to move several at once; ⌘Z undoes.
Tidy Up
One click snaps every quintlet into a neat grid on your main display, grouped by type, group, name or size, with Undo.
Scenes & groups
Whole desktop layouts, one showing at a time: fun, Mac stats, work. Switch from the Studio tabs, the menu bar, ⌥⌘1–9 or AppleScript. Groups show, hide, fade and collapse; a clock can show in every scene.
Fonts, color & effects
A searchable font picker that shows each family in its own typeface, size, color, opacity, letter and line spacing, shadow, glow and outline, a background panel, and a Pulse effect. Copy one quintlet's look onto another, or restyle everything at once.
Your location, once
Save a place once and local radar, weather, sunrise, tides and planes overhead fill in for you. Search an address through Apple Maps, or use your current location.
Share a quintlet
Send one quintlet, a group or your whole desktop as a small .quintlet file with the Mac share sheet. The person opening it sees a review screen showing what each one runs and contacts; code quintlets start switched off. Your location is never included.
Sync between Macs
Pick a folder in iCloud Drive, Google Drive or Dropbox and your quintlets follow you. Positions and sizes stay per Mac, and code that arrives from another Mac waits for your approval. No account to create.
Bring your GeekTool scripts
Any Terminal command or AppleScript you used in GeekTool can be pasted in. The built-in Help explains what changed since the old days, and old .geeklet files still open.
Scriptable
Quint has its own AppleScript dictionary: refresh all, add a snippet, read a quintlet's output, switch scenes, toggle Arrange. Drive it from Script Editor or Shortcuts.
Menu bar & Studio
The Studio lists your quintlets and their settings, with a live output box, run status and a Run Now button. Close it and Quint keeps running from the menu bar. Light, Dark or System appearance; launch at login.
Light on memory
A RAM readout in the Studio footer and a Memory card in Settings show what Quint is using. Quintlets in a hidden scene or group stop running and free their pictures, and Free Up Memory hands the rest back.
Pictures that move
Radar and satellite loops, traffic cameras and webcams, live pictures of the Sun from NASA spacecraft. Fit, Fill or Stretch to any size, with a stroke and drop shadow if you like.
Built-in Help
A searchable Help window (⌘?) covers every feature, written in plain English, with Troubleshooting when a quintlet comes up blank.
Updates itself
Sparkle checks a signed update feed and verifies every update before installing it. Your quintlets and settings are kept.
Free, tip-supported
No account, no subscription, no ads. If Quint earns a place on your desktop, a tip keeps it going.
