PRIVACY & SIMPLICITY
Your calendar and reminder data never leaves your device. "I Need That Widget" is built for people who want practical widgets, minimal design, and quick access to what matters most.
An in-app FAQ explains widget setup and answers common questions.
If you’re someone who prefers your calendar widget to show your upcoming events beyond just today then I would highly recommend this app. It’s surprising to me that neither the stock iOS calendar widget nor the Google Calendar widget has this capability. This must be one of the primary reason why this app even exists. What it does, it does well. It can display your upcoming events for the next week or it can show the entire month (and more). Just keep in mind that the space for each day while using month view can be a bit narrow so it will probably only show the first 4-5 letters of the event although this is to be expected. The dev is very kind and responsive. I also appreciate the respect for best privacy practices as no data is collected. Highly recommended! 👍
Developer Response
Thank you so much for the thoughtful and detailed review! I’m really glad the app helps you see upcoming events beyond just today. You described exactly one of the main reasons I built this app, so it means a lot to hear that it fits your needs. Thanks again for your kind words and recommendation!
GRID VIEW!
MattWW
Grid view lock screen widget with all events/reminders visible. How this niche has been essentially abandoned this long is mind boggling, but luckily INTW fills that gap. Calendar and reminders integration is essential and very smoothly done. Key app, any other calendar widget is obsolete.
Developer Response
Thank you for your positive review! I'm happy to hear that the Grid View widget meets your needs and enhances your calendar experience. I'm constantly working to improve and expand our features, so I appreciate your feedback and look forward to serving you even better in the future.
Almost Perfect

Beautiful calendar widgets that the built in app is sorely lacking in. Could use a better 2x2 small widget though
Developer Response
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you’re enjoying the widgets.I’m currently looking into adding more widget options, and I agree the small 2x2 size could use some more love. I’ll keep this in mind as I work on future widgets.Thanks for the feedback!
Great app but…
4 and 5 no no
I love this app only thing I see that needs improving is the ability to switch between dark and light mode at will to match with the themes of my devices
Developer Response
Thank you so much for loving the app!You can switch between Light and Dark appearances using your Home Screen's Customize options. If that's not quite what you're looking for, I'd love to hear more about what you'd like to see!
This update improves compatibility with iPhone Duo and optimizes widget layouts for its new display, helping your widgets look clear and properly aligned.
Thank you for using I Need That Widget!
