Glance — HA Dashboard Wiki

Glance is a custom, high-polish Home Assistant dashboard built with React 19 + TypeScript + Vite. It talks directly to Home Assistant over its WebSocket API, renders a fully editable tile/room layout, and layers on a lot of "premium feel" motion and ambient effects. It can run as a local dev app or as a Supervisor-managed Home Assistant add-on (sidebar panel via Ingress).
