About Widgetsmith
Widgetsmith lets you personalize your device like never before with a wide range of highly-customizable widgets. It allows you to design your home screen so it can remind you of the people, places, and words that mean the most to you.
Widgetsmith showcases your photos, countdown to upcoming events, lets you get to your favorite music, check the weather at a glance, and a whole lot more!
Each widget can be adjusted precisely to fit your desired appearance and function, using a wide range of colors, fonts, borders, and themes. With Widgetsmith, you can create your perfect home screen aesthetic and easily change it over time.
WIDGETS
You can create almost anything with Widgetsmith, using the wide range of widget types offered in the app! Here are some favorites:
• Photos: Highlight your favorite images across your home screens with a range of filters and borders
• Photo Galleries: View photos in an album or customized collection
• Customizable Date & Time Clocks
• Activity Tracking & Step Counting
• Countdown Timers
• Solar & Lunar Trackers

WALLPAPERS
To really take things to the next level, Widgetsmith includes a range of built-in wallpapers that can be customized to match your desired look and feel.
FLEXIBILITY
If you want different widgets at different times of day, Widgetsmith has you covered! For example, a particular widget could show the weather in the morning, then your calendar during your work day, then switch to your Activity ring progress as you wrap up your day. This lets you take full advantage of each slot on your home screen.

Widgetsmith is also home to a wide range of useful tools, including:
• A weather app with air quality, pollen, and tide information
• A full-featured time zone converter
• Charts to review activity and workout data

This update adds a new type of album widget, Most Recent in Album.
The idea for this widget came from a user who wanted to have a privacy focused method for ambiently sharing photos with their loved one.
In their case they have a shared iCloud photo album into which they add photos of things they see which remind them of their spouse. They wanted to then be able to add a widget on their spouses iPhone which dynamically showed the latest of these.
I loved the idea and so added it to Widgetsmith. This is built completely on iCloud Photo Sharing, Widgetsmith never shares or uploads your photos itself.

When I launched Widgetsmith on September 16, 2020, I had no idea what was coming. That Widgetsmith would lead the wave of iPhone customization and bring so much joy, to so many.
Widgetsmith just had its *100 millionth download*. A number that I find truly staggering to consider.
To think that something I built in my basement could reach and enrich so many people's lives is genuinely overwhelming.
Thank you for being one of those 100 million and choosing to make Widgetsmith part of your life. Widgetsmith could never have gotten to this point without people like you sharing it with their friends and family. You are a part of something really special.
To celebrate this momentous occasion I wanted to do something special. So I've been hard at work adding a new way to make your widgets even more awesome, *Gradient Backgrounds*.
This new widget background type lets you elevate your aesthetic in a whole new way. Specially for this celebration I've added a handful of golden gradient themes, free for everyone, because why not celebrate with a bit of bling.
Then, for Widgetsmith Premium subscribers, I've added a who bunch of premium gradient themes and the ability to edit the gradients however you'd like.
You can adjust the number of colors, gradient angle and offset. Adjust the gradient exactly how you'd like it.
