Description

Desktops can be pretty bland and useless. If we did anything to theme them, it's mostly straight out of a template. That's not Widgy.

With Widgy, your home screen becomes YOUR home screen. You can make any kind of widget imaginable that perfectly matches the rest of your aesthetics. All the information you need can be easily surfaced through a widget that you designed. You don't have to clutter your screen with the information you don't want, it's just what you want, how you want it.

• It's simple to make a widget •

You don't need to be a professional designer, you just need to know what you want. Once you figure that out, it's a matter of letting your creativity flow. Just add an element, pick a data source, throw on some effects, and put it where you want. Then repeat to add another element. After a while, you'll have a perfect widget, and all you need to do is to assign it to a widget slot and drop it on your home screen. There it is, marvelous!

The Widgy editor only has two parts. The preview and the layer list. When editing a layer, you get a couple of different sections that let you tweak the appearance and data of that layer. Each section has several special things you can do to the layer. The Preview will always show you a live display of exactly how the widget will look on your home screen, so you don't have to constantly go back and forth between the editor and home screen.

• Everything you need •

Widgy provides all the different elements that you would ever need to make your widget perfect. Along with that, there are all the data sources you could ever need, everything from system info to weather. And with all these data sources, there are several ways to display the data, whether it's a text, a nice chart, or something else.

• There's no limits •

This isn't an app full of templates, everything is 100% customizable and interchangeable. It's your widget, and you choose how to make it. The only limit is your imagination.

• Sharing and discovering is easy •

You can privately share widgets with your friends or publicly with all Widgy users, all with a couple of taps. You can share your widget as a URL, QR Code, JSON data, a file, or you can publish it to be shown in the Explore section for all the Widgy users to see.

Other than the Explore section, Reddit (r/Widgy) and Discord communities have produced thousands of Widgy widgets so far. So if you just want to browse widgets or if you need some inspiration you can get that too!

NOTE: Widgy optionally integrates with Apple Health. This integration is used to display your data if you select one of those widget types. Permission for Widgy to access this data is controlled through the Apple Health app.

As with Health, all other permissions for Widgy are optional and are there just to show you the data you want to be displayed.

Superb App

I don't normally write reviews, but this deserves one.

I've been using Widgy for quite some time now, right from the beginning. As soon as I started using it I knew how good it was and paid for the full features, and have not regretted it. This app is amazing, and is literally the best widget app on the app store. I've tried others just out of curiosity and nothing even comes close.

The support for Widgy is far above any other app, and the developer is very helpful and always on hand for any questions on Reddit. He listens to everything, helps with queries and even implements updates when he can which are possible (following Apples limitations).

I've developed quite a few Widgy's myself for others, and even came in the top 10 for my Google themed Widgy. I love making them, and my phone doesn't go one day without me editing or making a new one. It's very addictive, and the possibilities are endless with this app.

Keep up the great work. u/duke4e, you deserve an award off Apple for the quality of this app, the support you provide, and the constant features you add.

Great but some room for improvement

I use this app constantly and it’s a great thing to have to customise your watchface. 1 improvement I would like to suggest though is adding a shortcut runner for tap actions on watchy. This is because I would like to run shortcuts directly from my watch but am unable to do so through the Watch version of the app. Please update this. Over all I completely recommend this and it’s the most user friendly app I’ve ever come across for Watch faces

Was great

I made a Home Screen widget based on an analogue clock with some other info on the face- weather, battery, steps etc that I really liked and have had in a small stack on my home screen for a couple of years. It would occasionally get stuck but a tap refreshed it and everything was fine. Then with the last two OS upgrades, it worked for a bit and then froze. I tried removing the widget and trying to re-add it to the stack but widgy has disappeared from the list of widgets. A reboot doesn’t bring it back. The most recent upgrade did bring it back for a while but it has gone again now. The app is still in my phone, when I restore purchases it tells me Home Screen widgets have been restored, but it’s still not available in the widget list. Really annoying
