See your Ahrefs Domain Rating on your wallpaper
Put your site's Ahrefs Domain Rating right on your macOS wallpaper with Orbl. A read-only key stored in your Keychain and called from your Mac — no server.
Domain Rating is one of those numbers you check far more often than it actually moves. With Orbl, your Ahrefs Domain Rating lives quietly on your wallpaper — visible every time you clear your screen, without opening a single browser tab.
Orbl turns your macOS desktop into a calm, living dashboard. Your DR sits there as one small, readable widget, next to whatever else matters to you that day.
What Orbl shows from Ahrefs
- Domain Rating — your site's DR, at a glance, kept up to date in the background.
That's the whole point: one honest signal of your site's authority, always within sight, never demanding attention. You can size it small, medium, or large, set it to stay always-on, reveal on hover, or switch it off when you want a clean screen.
How to connect Ahrefs to Orbl
- In Ahrefs, generate a read-only API key — Orbl only ever reads, it can never change anything in your account.
- Open Orbl → Settings → Integrations and paste the key.
- Add the Domain Rating value as a widget, name it, and pick a size.
- Your DR appears on the wallpaper within seconds.
Once it's there, you can forget about it. Orbl refreshes the number on its own, so the figure you glance at is the figure that's current.
100% local, by design
Your key is stored in your macOS Keychain, and Orbl calls Ahrefs directly from your Mac. Nothing routes through an Orbl server, because there isn't one — your credentials and your data never touch anyone else's infrastructure. See our privacy approach.
This matters more than it sounds. Plenty of dashboards ask you to hand your keys to a cloud service that then phones the API for you. Orbl flips that: your Mac talks to Ahrefs, and the result is painted onto your own wallpaper. No middleman, nothing logged elsewhere.
Pay once, keep it forever
The Ahrefs integration is part of Orbl Premium — a one-time purchase, lifetime, no subscription. The first 50 licenses are $29; after that it's $49. Either way you pay once and own it, which is a deliberate contrast with the monthly billing you're used to from most SEO tooling.
Pair it with the rest of your stack
Domain Rating rarely tells the whole story on its own. Many people keep their DR next to their GitHub stars and contribution graph for a single build-in-public glance. And if you track an SEO metric Ahrefs doesn't expose the way you'd like — or you use another tool entirely — the custom "Any" API widget can surface almost any number from a GET endpoint.
