Glance is a self-hosted personal dashboard that aggregates all your information feeds into a single, fast, visually clean web page. Instead of opening ten different tabs to check Hacker News, Reddit, YouTube, the weather, stock prices, and your RSS subscriptions, Glance pulls everything into one customizable page you open once. The dashboard is configured entirely through a YAML file where you define pages, each divided into columns, each filled with widgets. Available widgets include RSS feeds, Reddit subreddits, Hacker News posts, YouTube channel uploads, Twitch live streams, weather forecasts, stock market prices, Docker container status, server system stats, a calendar, GitHub release monitors, and more. The community also contributes additional custom widgets. Each widget has configuration options for how many items to show, caching behavior, and display style. Because it runs on your own machine or home server, your data stays private and you are not limited by rate limits or account requirements. It can also monitor your local infrastructure, checking whether Docker containers are running, showing server CPU and memory usage, making it popular in "homelab" setups where enthusiasts run their own servers. Performance is a design priority. The entire binary is under 20 megabytes, memory usage is low, pages typically load in about one second, and there is minimal JavaScript. It runs as a single binary on Linux, Windows, and macOS, or as a tiny Docker container. You would use Glance if you want a clean, distraction-free information hub for your home screen or homelab, without relying on a cloud service or paying a subscription. It is written in Go, configured via YAML, deployable in minutes with Docker Compose, and mobile-friendly for use on phones and tablets.
