About

Leap Widgets

Leap makes your Home Screen widgets blend into your wallpaper instead of sitting on top of it as another opaque tile. Pick a design, a style and a background, and Leap composes the widget so it reads as part of the wallpaper behind it. No cropping screenshots by hand. No shortcuts to install. No changing your system appearance settings. WHAT YOU GET - 67 widget designs across clocks, dates, calendars, weather, streaks, progress, battery, storage and activity - 4 distinct styles for every design: Editorial, Minimal, Dot-Matrix and Neon - 14 built-in backgrounds, plus any photo from your library - Small, medium and large sizes - Over 3,500 unique combinations, so your Home Screen looks like no one else's - No account, no sign-in, no ads YOUR CONTENT STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No account. No sign-in. No ads. No advertising identifier and no cross-app tracking. Nothing to register for, no Leap server holding your content. Your widgets, backgrounds, photos, check-ins, streaks and anything you type live only on your iPhone, in Leap's own container. None of it syncs to a cloud, and deleting the app deletes all of it. Calendar designs read your calendar on device, only after you grant permission. Weather designs send only your approximate location to Apple's WeatherKit for local conditions. Purchases are handled by Apple, so Leap never sees your name or card details. Two things do leave your device. Leap counts anonymous feature usage against a random per-install analytics id, so we know what to improve - never your content, photos or calendar. A message you send through Send Feedback goes to our support inbox with that same id, plus your email if you give one. WIDGETS THAT ARE ACTUALLY ALIVE Analog faces with a second hand that genuinely sweeps. Dates that roll over at midnight on their own. Week and year progress that fills as the week goes on, Monday to Sunday. Calendar designs list what is coming up next, and weather designs show local conditions. A DAILY CHECK-IN, FREE FOREVER Tap once a day to keep your streak alive. The check-in and streak are never locked behind a purchase. MAKE IT YOURS Set an accent colour per widget. Choose 12 or 24 hour. Give a clock its own time zone to watch another city. Tell Leap which Home Screen row it sits in so the background lines up. The look is built from the background you choose, so it blends best when that background matches the wallpaper set on your Home Screen. Change your wallpaper and update the widget in Leap to match. WHAT IS FREE, AND WHAT IS NOT All 67 designs and all 4 styles are free. For your first 7 days everything is unlocked, up to 8 saved widgets. After that, Leap stays free with up to 4 saved widgets and 1 widget using your own photo, and the daily check-in and streak remain free forever. Saved widgets beyond that limit lock until you upgrade, including ones already placed on your Home Screen, which then show a locked face. Leap Premium removes those limits: a monthly auto-renewing subscription at $0.99 per month, or a one-time Lifetime purchase at $9.99. Prices are in US dollars and may vary by region. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. The Lifetime option is a one-time purchase and does not renew. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://www.sololeapinc.com/privacy/leap A NOTE ON BATTERY WIDGETS iOS reports battery level to apps rounded to the nearest 5%, so battery designs move in 5% steps. That is a system limitation; Leap uses the standard public reading. Questions or ideas? Use Send Feedback in Settings, or email sololeapinc@gmail.com.
