Create desktop widgets with the contents of any website

You may have considered creating your own widget for Windows, but I'm sure you never thought it would be as easy as creating them with Snippage.

Snippage is a simple AIR-based app that lets you create custom widgets for your desktop just by selecting a given area on any website. You can then use it to follow the latest headlines on your favorite news site or search any webpage right from the desktop.

Using Snippage couldn't be easier. Launch the program and enter the URL of the website you want to create the widget for in the appropriate field. Then select the area you want to use as widget, and voilà! The selected area will immediately be saved as a desktop widget. The whole procedure is easy, though sometimes it feels a bit clunky – and you need a good, steady hand to select the area properly.

Snippage works with any website and lets you choose between automatically refreshing the widget or using a static copy, and also between opening links in your web browser or inside the widget itself.

Snippage lets you create desktop widgets from any website, including RSS feeds, search engines or anything else you can think of.

It works pretty well.. It could use some improvement (i.e. with refreshing and navigation), but it works better than anything else I've found. Pros: Works with flash Cons: There's no back button that I could findThe pages are supposed to refresh every 30 minutes, but they don't. You have to restart the program to update the pages.

Not the best piece of software in the world, but it gets the job done. This application is OK, just OK. It's not the best piece of software in the world, but it gets the job done. If you're looking for a way to simulate the old Windows active desktop functionality, then look no further (there aren't any other apps doing this properly anyway). IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to access the menu for one of your snippets, gently slide your mouse pointer into the window from its left-hand side. This one took me *ages* to figure out! Pros: Gets the job done Cons: Written in Adobe AIR, not very stable, it's hard to figure out how to access the menu for a given snippet

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.
