Widgy Widgets: Home/Lock/Watch Screenshots
About Widgy Widgets: Home/Lock/Watch
With Widgy, your home and lock screens becomes YOUR screens. 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.

2.2
Feb 24, 2023
• Support Renewed to iOS 14.2
Starting off this update is new support for older devices running any iOS all the way back to iOS 14.2.
Do note that some widgets using those features newer than your OS may not work as expected and that is completely normal.
• 300+ Brilliant, New Fonts
Widgy 2.2 comes with 300+ new fonts. The app can now handle this many fonts because of some memory improvements when generating the widget previews.
Some highlights of these are the iOS 16 Lock Screen fonts (specifically Soft, Rails and Stencil), BPdots, and ColorTube (as well as other colored fonts), but of course there are many more.
SF Symbols, Font Awesome, and Material Icons also got updated, so now Widgy has more variants of those. One notable one, Font Awesome Brands is now available, and it has a wide variety of brand logos that are worth exploring. Smart Symbols have also been added for Agenda Completed Today/Tomorrow.
• Tap Actions 2.0
The Action tab of a Tap Action has been redesigned to allow for some new features:
Widget Action is the main thing that the widget does to itself. If that doesn't make any sense, it's either Reload Widget, Button or Nothing. So if you set this to reload widget, then it will reload. A button could switch views or hide sensitive data...
External Action is the external thing, like a redirect. It can be used to open a URL, RSS feed, another app, run a shortcut, or just return to the home screen when you tap on the widget. You could pair a reload with a return for what used to just be Reload Widget. You could also disable Wifi and hide your RSS feed in one tap.
Play Sound is brand new and self-explanatory. Your tap action can now play a sound when you disable WiFi and hide your RSS feed. All the sounds available are from the iOS sound library. Do note you do need your ringer on for these to play.
Vibrate is also brand new and also self-explanatory. This one also has many options from the basic vibration intensity to the various taptic patterns and strengths.
• The Emboss Effect
You can now emboss many of the layers in the effects tab. You can pick the colors, angle and amount.
• New Automation View & Video Preview Lengths
The timeline view new looks significantly better and more organized, so that you can see what specifically is going on with each animation. The automation graph in both the timeline view and the animator video also were redesigned. This should help all of the animators and animations from the very simple to the ones where every minute is different.
In addition to that, you can show off your video previews with more than one video length now, from 6 to 48 seconds. So people can see everything a little bit sooner when you share your widgets here.
• Text Charts
Text now has another new date source, charts. One line charts, like ■■■■■□□□, 62%, or just every single value in a normal chart. Maybe you want a different ascetic for some of your charts or you're making an inline lock screen widget. Since those can only contain a single symbol and line of text, text charts are perfect for showing the amount of something at a glance. There's also a separator option on the text that can be used when listing multiple items of a chart now.
• Choosable Line Count Calendars
When one line isn't enough, but five is too many, you had to pick. Widgy v2.2 prevents you from needing to do that, and you can now pick any number of rows between 1 and 5 to get the prefect length to the calendar.
• There's More
As always, there's more much smaller features and bug fixes that weren't covered in this large post that are ready to use, like "Time Until Next Sunrise" and "Time Until Next Sunset" for text and charts, and new links in the create tab to watch P!XLZ' videos.

Sep 22, 2022
Lock screen widgets are here! You can now create widgets of three new sizes: Circular, Rectangular, and Inline.

• updated SF Symbols to v4 (added hundreds of new symbols)
• support for new phones and watches
• removed "Carrier Name", "Carrier Country", and "Carrier Allows VOIP" data sources, due to system deprecations
• delete confirmation for layer deletion, text layer multi-data deletion, and JSON parameters deletion
• due to internal Watchy reorganization you'll probably need to sync your slots again
• "Run Watchy" complications are now written from scratch with modern APIs
• editor now only displays the transparency cropper once
• removed dark mode for transparency cropper on phones
• improved scale calculations for Ring Charts
• fixed a rare Watchy crash
Disclaimer: This release drops support for iOS 15! I'm sorry, but Widgy has to move on to support the new features with iOS 16.

1.7
Sep 29, 2021
Major new features:
• Almost all properties of the layer can now be automated over a 24 hour period. That means you can automate position, visibility, and everything else over time.
• Added a lot of new Health Kit data (including Sleep Tracking).
• Added Activity Ring layer which uses similar rules to Gauge layer, so you can easily overlay one on top of another.

• Improved tap action tap detection that should work with iOS 15.
• Added wind speed options to widget settings.
• Improved memory usage due to a bug related to localization. More memory = fewer widgets not loading.
• Symbols can now act as gauge needles.
• All charts can now use "Exclusive Segment Mode". That means gauge can show weather, Bitcoin price, your steps, or anything else that was previously available only to non-gauge charts. The only downside is that it's up to you to enter the minimum and maximum value so that Widgy can calculate the percentage of the current value.
• Added an option for horizontally oriented calendars.

• Added percentage-based countdown options to text (hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/annually)
• Added symbol rotation option to line charts
• Added restore purchases button to the "unlock full version" screen
• While loading data, tapping edit more than once doesn't show the editor more than once anymore
• Added effects option/toggle to not clip to frame (this means some info can be rendered out of layers bounds)
• Added effects option/toggle to not stretch the layer (so the circle will look like a circle and not like an ellipse)
• Added "random number" text data source
• Added "random line of text" text data source
• Layer insets are now rendered as orange stripes (if additional guides are turned on)

• Improved design for small screens devices
• Fixed sharing bug that overwrote your widgys images with web images
• Updated Croatian, Chinese and Japanese translations (and machine-translated the rest of the languages)
