Glance widgets can now feel alive — not just posters waiting for the next update. INTERACTIVE WIDGETS • Up to five screens in one widget. Tap an icon to switch — a Mission Control hub that opens tickets, inbox, revenue, or any screen you design. • Tap to reveal on the same card. Hide an answer, a definition, or a detail until you tap. Perfect for flashcards. • The reload control on the widget always brings you back to the home screen. DASHBOARDS • Charts: bar, line, pie, scatter, and candlestick — including sparklines and donuts. • Activity grids that heat by value — a week strip or a year of days. • Compact tables with headers and optional heat on numeric cells. ALIVE ON EVERY PLAN • Shapes: circle, rectangle, capsule, line, and triangle. • Colors, opacity, and visibility that follow a number — a score that tints a button, a ring that fills, a card that fades. • Real calendars on the widget: today’s agenda, 1-, 3-, or 7-day columns, and a month view with event dots. Ask ChatGPT or Claude to design these, then pin them to your Home Screen. Widgets you subscribe to from Discover keep the same taps on your iPhone. Extra screens, tap to reveal, charts, activity grids, and tables are on Pro and Power. Shapes, live color, and calendar are on every plan. Existing widgets keep working — update Glance to see the new ones.

Glance API is a webhook-based monitoring platform that allows you to display real-time data from any system directly on your iPhone home screen using native widgets. It's designed for developers and DevOps teams to keep an eye on their systems without needing to open a separate app.
You create a feed in the app to get a unique webhook URL. Then, you send HTTP POST requests with your data from any system to this URL, and your home screen widget will update in real-time with the information.
Glance API supports various data schemas and offers multiple feed types, including summary cards, status indicators, and counters. You can monitor API health, sales metrics, build pipelines, IoT devices, and any custom metric that can send an HTTP request.
Yes, Glance API prioritizes security and privacy. Each feed has a unique authentication key, your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and the developers do not share your data with third parties. You control the data you send and how it's displayed.
Glance API offers a Free Tier with up to 3 feeds and 100 events per day. Paid plans, Pro and Power, offer more feeds, higher event limits, and longer data retention periods, up to 25 feeds and 45-day retention on the Power Plan.
No, Glance API does not contain advertisements. As it is free to use with optional paid upgrades, users can enjoy an ad-free experience.
Glance API is available for iPhone and iPad, supporting the latest iOS design guidelines for a clean and intuitive user experience on Apple devices.
The latest version of Glance API is 1.2.0, last updated on March 25, 2026. The app is actively developed, with more widget types planned for future releases.
