Description
ImageTracker is the spiritual successor of SlothCam, the original webcam app for Dashboard, MacOS, and iOS. ImageTracker offers similar features to SlothCam, but in a modern Home Screen Widget format.
With this app you can create widgets using any live image from the web (jpeg, jpg, png URLs). Whether it’s a satellite image of the Earth, a real-time weather forecast, space weather charts showing aurora data, or a live webcam feed, this app allows you to create dynamic widgets with live content from the web.
To install a Home Screen Widget, tap and hold on your Home Screen until the icons jiggle and press + to add a widget. Once you add the widget, you can tap it while in Home Screen edit mode and add a custom URL to the widget.
Features:
•Customizable Widgets: Place any image URL into a Home Screen widget on your iPhone or iPad or Mac.
•Live Updates: Widgets refresh periodically to display the latest data, ensuring your information is always current.
•Versatile Use Cases: Ideal for displaying weather maps, NASA satellite images, live webcams, space weather charts, aurora borealis data, and more. Any image published to the web can be used!
•Easily share images from widgets with friends.
ImageTracker is free to use. Purchasing the app will removes the nag message that appears on the main screen and on the widget.

Ratings and Reviews
Just what I needed
I’m keeping an eye out for the northern lights at a place where I am going to in a couple of weeks and I am using this to display the YouTube thumbnail of a live stream.
Please please can you add another optional metadata so I can add the full YouTube link and then when I tap on the image it could open the YouTube app?
Would be cool to have a link you can easily open, imagine tracking the image and then the link to see all the data or more information of the widget shows you that something looks interesting.
Developer Response ,
I’m happy to hear you’re enjoying the app (and sorry I didn’t respond earlier, I just noticed your review). I also use it to track aurora data (mostly in the form of charts from NASA etc). Please contact me via the help function so we can discuss the idea you suggested!
