## What is AnyMetrics?

Turn any API into a live Home Screen widget.

Servers. Builds. Stars. Rates. Status codes.
If it has a URL — it can live on your iPhone.

AnyMetrics fetches data from any HTTP endpoint and shows it as a widget. No code. No backend. No waiting for someone else’s app.

Set up once. See it every time you unlock your phone.

WHAT YOU GET

• Custom HTTP requests — any method, headers, auth
• JSON parsing with paths, filters, and aggregates
• HTML extraction with CSS selectors
• Live widgets that refresh on their own
• Format and transform values before display
• Ready-made metrics from the gallery — add in one tap

BUILT FOR

• DevOps & SRE — uptime, health checks, latency
• Engineers — CI/CD status from GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins
• Indie hackers — stars, downloads, MRR signals
• Anyone who wants live data without building an app

SHARE & REUSE

• Share configs with your team
• Start from the gallery, then make it yours

### 5/5 — Great idea

*2026-07-16*

Update - July 2026:
The developer has fixed the issue. 
Changed it to 5 stars. 
——
Went through adding a metric using API, all good, preview shows but it didn’t add it. No error. 
I wish this app was tested at least once with the developer. Hopefully will get fixed because I really liked the idea.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for the feedback, and sorry for the issue.

A fix for this bug has been released in the latest version of the app. Please update the app and check if adding an API metric works correctly now.

If the bug still repeats, please let me know and I’ll investigate it further.

Thank you for using the app!

### 2/5 — I want to love it…

*2026-05-11*

…but when I go through all the steps of adding a metric, custom pointing to my own server or the demo jsonplaceholder (fetch works fine in both cases), and finally tap Add Metric at the end … poof! Gone! Back to empty list with hint to add my “first” metric, which I thought I just did. Must be a bug, likely not intended. This happens regardless of whether I have added the widget to my home screen. It should highlight errors if any input data is wrong, or an alert stating why it cannot be added, and it should at least save the entry and allow me to go back and edit later and make corrections. I will update this review if fixed and if I can use it in the future. Looking forward.

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry for the issue, and thank you for reporting it.

The bug with adding API metrics has been fixed in the latest version. Please update the app and check if it works correctly now.

If the issue still happens, let me know and I’ll look into it further.
