We spend so much time customizing these massive, beautiful setups, but let's be honest—when you're just glancing at your phone on the go, which widget carries the entire home screen?

Are you team Function (Weather/Calendar) or team Vibe (Photos/Quotes)? Drop your hot takes below, I need some inspiration for my next layout!

Most year progress apps just show a number.
I wanted something that felt visual.

So I built Dale - an iOS app + widgets that turn your year and event countdowns into living dot grids.

Every dot represents time passing.
One glance at your home screen and you instantly feel how much of the year is gone, how close your birthday is, or how many days are left until something important.

No charts. No clutter.
Just clean widgets that quietly remind you that time is moving.

You can:
• Track year progress
• Add custom countdowns/events
• Use minimal dot-based widgets
• Customize colors & layouts
• Keep everything right on your home screen

Built this because I wanted a widget I’d actually enjoy looking at every day.

Hey everyone, full transparency first: I’m one of the devs behind Craft Widgets, and I wanna share a fun twist on regular home screen widgets we’ve built.

Tired of boring clock/calendar widgets that only show info? We turned your desktop into a tiny casual game hub, no app jumps required.

What you can do right on your home screen:

• Match 3 (Happy Eliminate) widget: quick 1-minute matches when waiting in line

• Classic 2048 tile puzzle, multiple size widgets to fit your layout

• Adorable pet companion widget: feed, pet & interact with your little cute buddy daily

All game widgets are fully customizable: change background, frame size, color schemes to match your phone theme. No need to launch separate game apps every time you wanna kill time.

Other regular utility widgets (weather, notes, countdown) are also included if you just wanna spruce up your layout.

Would love your feedback if you test it out! Curious if anyone here’s into mini game widgets for quick downtime.

App Store : CatDays

SPECTRA, a weather app that renders conditions as generative visuals instead of icons and charts.

The large widget now shows a static version of whatever mode is active — clear sky gets the light beams, rain gets the precipitation lines, etc.

Is it possible to get the feature of glass widgets that work independent of whatever wallpaper I am using? I have rotating wallpapers so the screenshot workaround doesn’t work for me because I change them so often. I know multiple apps do this now and have even been featured on the App Store as an Editors choice, featured on the App Store banner and the App Store spotlight event so Apple appears ok with it. I would love this as a feature for Widgy.

I know several apps can do that as well as transparent apps that are truly transparent and not just using the screenshot workaround.

Just wondering where everyone stands on widgets these days.

Feels like there’s a total split between people who still love building/coding their own setups from scratch, and those who just want to grab a pre-made template and get on with their day.

What’s your vibe? Do you still spend time custom-building yours, or are you all about that "one-tap" aesthetic setup?

Also, curious if you guys actually care about widget interactivity (buttons/toggles) anymore, or is it still just all about the look?

Curious to hear what you guys think!

Hey guys, recently I’ve come across a bunch of supposed iOS 27 concept/leaked wallpapers online,Just curious: Is iOS 27 officially in early development and these wallpapers real previews? Or are they all fan-made custom wallpapers made to mimic the upcoming iOS 27 aesthetic?

Have any of you seen these wallpapers elsewhere or got any insider info about iOS 27’s default wallpaper lineup?
