What's New in DateSmith

12.0

October 27, 2026

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.

User reviews

A great trial version of the app

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

Perfect Lock screen Date widget

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!
