Three Interfaces, One Collector

	KDE Plasmoid	Tauri Tray App	Windows Widget
Platform	KDE Plasma 6 (Fedora, Kubuntu, Arch)	macOS, Ubuntu GNOME, Fedora, other non-KDE Linux	Windows 10 22H2 / Windows 11
Interface	Native QML panel widget	System tray popup (frameless)	Tray icon + frameless popup docked bottom-right
Stack	QML + Kirigami	Rust + Vite + vanilla JS	Tauri v2 (Rust + Vite + vanilla JS)
Install	`./install.sh`	`./install.sh`	Build + install (see below)
Trigger	Click panel widget	Click tray icon or `Super+Shift+C`	Click tray icon
Data source	`~/.claude/widget-data.json`	`~/.claude/widget-data.json`	`~/.claude/widget-data.json`

All three read the same file written by the shared Python collector at `scripts/usage-buddies-collector.py`.

**Windows Widget** (`win-widget/`) is a fresh, Windows-first build in Tauri v2 — not a port of the Linux UI. It docks a frameless popup at the bottom-right corner
