Redesigned Home Screen widgets in three sizes. Use your own photo or a theme, pick glass or solid text, and keep your perfect date above the Lock Screen clock. Your date, above the clock. DateSmith puts a clearer, fuller date in the line above your Lock Screen clock, or a countdown to the day you are looking forward to. Now with bold Home Screen widgets you can make your own. YOUR FORMAT, YOUR WAY Pick any two of month, date, weekday and year, each in the style you like. See it live in a Lock Screen preview that changes with every tap. COUNTDOWNS Name it and pick the day. DateSmith shows the days left until a trip, a birthday or a big day. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Small, medium and large widgets show your date or countdown in big, clear type, with a week strip on the medium size, a month calendar on the large size and a date page on medium countdowns. - Themes: Dawn, Ocean, Aurora, Graphite and System - Your own photo, framed for the square and wide widget shapes - A different photo for Dark Mode if you like - Liquid Glass style text with a soft highlight and depth, or crisp solid text UPDATES ON ITS OWN DateSmith prepares the week ahead, so your widgets change each day, even when the app is closed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no ads and no analytics. Your widgets need no internet connection. DateSmith never uploads your photo. SIMPLE SETUP 1. Touch and hold your Lock Screen 2.

Perfect Lock screen Date widget
06/09/2025
Worth every penny$
The creator of this app has created a few other apps that i use daily! Always thinking about what the user needs and as a result has made things easier for me in my daily life.DateSmith is fantastic! It delivers exactly as promised; a clean, customizable date display right above my iPhone’s lock screen clock. Setup was very simple (and explained!) I love the countdown mode for tracking events like the next upcoming birthday or when an important bill is due. The variety of date formats lets me make it my own. I Highly recommend for anyone wanting a simple, date/countdown widget that just works as intended. Oh i almost forgot about the home screen widget feature, so useful!

I ended buying the PRO version for a dollar because it was super convenient to see the full date on my lock screen

DateSmith 12.0 is our biggest update yet. DateSmith Light is now simply DateSmith. REDESIGNED HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Small, medium and large widgets have a bold new design. Your date or countdown shows in big, clear type, with a week strip on the medium size, a month calendar on the large size and a date page on medium countdowns. YOUR PHOTO OR A THEME Pick Dawn, Ocean, Aurora, Graphite or System, or use your own photo. Frame it for the square and wide widget shapes, and choose a different photo for Dark Mode if you like. GLASS OR SOLID TEXT Liquid Glass style text, on by default, gives a glossy finish with soft depth. Turn it off for crisp, solid text. MORE WAYS TO SHOW THE DATE Choose a style for each slot: one letter, short or full names, month first or day first, and two- or four-digit years. Give a countdown your own label, emoji included, and put the label or the days first. A FRESH LOOK A new app design, a new app icon, and a live Lock Screen preview that changes with every tap. YOUR SETTINGS CARRY OVER Your saved date and countdown settings from DateSmith Light carry over, and widgets you already placed stay where they are. PLANS Try every feature free for 7 days. After that, widgets show Preview Ended in place of your date or countdown until you subscribe to DateSmith Monthly or Yearly.
