WidgetLock turns your iPhone's lock screen into a small, living dashboard — without needing a single native widget.
Design a grid of at-a-glance information — your next meetings, a countdown to an event, a website or dashboard, a stock ticker — arrange it exactly how you like, and WidgetLock keeps it looking sharp every time you glance at your phone.
HOW IT WORKS
Design your layout once in the app, then set up a Shortcuts automation (using the built-in "Get Lockscreen Image" action) that quietly refreshes your actual lock screen image on whatever schedule you choose. The result feels alive, even though it's your wallpaper doing the work.
WIDGETS
• Calendar — your upcoming events from the calendars you choose, in six layouts (next event, today, agenda, next days, this week, month). Titles are optional: hide them and events show as "Busy"
• Countdown — track the days until an event that matters to you
• QR code — a code that opens a link when scanned
• Padding — reserve empty space to fine-tune your layout
• Webpage (Pro) — put a snapshot of a web page or dashboard on your lock screen, rendered as a tile. Use a page anyone can open without signing in, like a published or shared link; some sites don't allow being shown inside other apps
• Stock ticker (Pro) — a compact card with the latest daily closing price and a chart
DESIGN, YOUR WAY
Drag widgets around a simple grid, resize them from a single square up to a full-screen takeover — including a Tall size that stops above the flashlight and camera buttons — and preview exactly what your finished lock screen will look like before it goes live.
CONFIGURE WITH AN AI ASSISTANT
In Settings, "Configure with Claude or ChatGPT (MCP)" gives you a private code. Add WidgetLock to an AI assistant that supports MCP connectors, sign in with that code, and ask it to change your widgets in plain words. Resetting the code disconnects every assistant. Your wallpaper still only updates when your Shortcut runs.
FREE AND PRO
Calendar, countdown, QR code and padding widgets are free, and designs made with them carry a small WidgetLock watermark. WidgetLock Pro adds website and dashboard widgets and stocks, and removes the watermark. Pro widgets are marked with a Pro badge: you can try them in your design, and saving or setting a design that uses them needs Pro.
WidgetLock Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. The available plans, prices and any free trial are shown in the app before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled in your App Store account settings or from Settings in the app.
PRIVACY
WidgetLock doesn't require an account: we don't ask for your name or email. Your layout is stored against a randomly generated identifier. If you add a Calendar widget, the app reads upcoming events from the calendars you choose and sends our server only what the widget shows, to draw your lock screen image; the server doesn't keep them. If you subscribe, Apple handles the payment and we only receive your subscription status, never your payment details. See our full privacy policy for details.
