A local, Mac-native widget dashboard for the Corsair Xeneon Edge™ touchscreen (the 2560×720 USB-C secondary panel).
Website: vardek.app · Download: latest release
The Xeneon Edge™ ships with a widget dashboard that only runs inside Corsair iCUE on Windows. On macOS the panel is just a second display. Vardek rebuilds that layer natively for the Mac: a full-screen, touch-driven grid of widgets that fills the strip and runs entirely on your machine — no cloud, no account, no telemetry.
- macOS 13 (Ventura) or later
- Apple Silicon Mac (CPU/GPU temperature sensors are Apple Silicon-only)
- A Corsair Xeneon Edge™ over USB-C (optional — Vardek also runs on any display so you can try it)

Eight widgets ship bundled: Clock, Calendar, System Sensors, Sensor Gauge,
Macro Pad, F1 Schedule, UniFi Network, and Weather. Drop your own into

Add-on widgets: install more after the fact — no app update — from vardekapp/vardek-widgets. That repo is open source; grab a widget, drop it in the folder above, rescan. Authoring guide and PRs welcome there too.

Local-only by design. All components run on your Mac over 127.0.0.1; nothing
listens on your network. The only traffic that leaves your Mac is the specific
API call a widget you enable makes (e.g. Weather fetching a forecast), limited
to the exact hosts that widget declares. Full details at
vardek.app.
