+### Desktop widget for the same monitor set (2026-06-15)
+User asked for a Rainmeter-like desktop widget on Debian 13 that can show the
+same Uptime Kuma monitor state in real time.
+
+Created a local Conky-based widget scaffold in the desktop user's home:
+- `~/.local/bin/kitestacks-uptime-widget.sh`
+- `~/.config/conky/kitestacks-uptime.conf`
+
+Behavior:
+- Polls Prometheus for `probe_success` and `probe_duration_seconds` from the
+`uptime-kuma-ping-probes` job.
+- Defaults to `http://prometheus.kitestacks.com:9090`, with `PROM_URL`
+  override support.
+- Prints the four Kuma monitor names, state, latency, and a summary line.
+- Degrades cleanly with `Prometheus unavailable at ...` when the endpoint
+  cannot be reached.
+
+Note: Conky is the closest direct Rainmeter-style equivalent for Debian/Linux
+desktop widgets; `eww` is the more modern alternative if the desktop session is
+Wayland-first and the user prefers GTK/Rust widgets instead of a classic
+desktop overlay.
+
 Important security hygiene: local git remote for `~/claude-memory` contains an
 HTTP token in the URL; do not print it in summaries. Prefer redacted URLs in
 handoffs.
