BUILT ON A DESIGN PHILOSOPHY Timedash Widgets was born from our love of 70s Ana Digi watches. Half analog, half digital, these cult classics laid the groundwork for every digital watch that followed. With bold graphics, deliberate typography, and a retro-futurist character Timedash channels that same spirit of analog-digital fusion into widgets for your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. SNAP TOGETHER YOUR PERFECT WIDGET Think of Timedash like LEGO for your Home Screen. The power is in its design flexibility. Every widget is built from components, such as clocks, weather, steps, date, calendar, countdown timers, world clocks, photos, and more. Mix and match them in any combination, swap data points without redesigning from scratch and change colors instantly. → Pick your components (time, date, weather, activity & health, photos, and more). → Set your favorite colors. From bold and expressive to clean and minimal. → Create unique widgets that fit your personal style. HUNDREDS OF READY-MADE TEMPLATES Designing widgets is what we like to do best. Browse our growing gallery of professionally designed widgets, available in multiple colors and layouts. Everything looks great from the moment you add it to your Home Screen.

Minipaper is a wallpaper maker for iPhone and iPad. Pick a style, change whatever you want, and export a custom Lock Screen or Home Screen wallpaper that fits your screen exactly. No design skills, no templates to fight with, and no two exports alike. Over 30 styles, every one of them built to be taken apart and rebuilt. STICKERS Put anything on your wallpaper. Start from the RetroTech pack or a curated set of SF Symbols, type your own with text and emoji, or drop in a photo and watch subject isolation lift it straight off the background. Drag, pinch and rotate to place, resize from the corners, then finish with a clean white border or a holographic foil. Select several at once, copy a layout from one design to another, or hit sticker-bomb and let them scatter. OBJECTS, NOT JUST GRADIENTS An iPod with a click wheel and anodized case, worn from pristine to pocket-scratched. A vinyl record. A handheld console. An AC remote, a CRT monitor, an airplane seat-back screen. The skeuomorphic styles are laid out so their screens sit exactly where your Lock Screen clock lands, and the whole phone reads as the object. GRADIENTS, GLASS AND SHAPES Aurora, Mesh Gradient, Pro Gradient and Japanese Gradient. Liquid Glass, Fluted Glass, Legacy Glass and Glass Bricks. Arch, Bento, Capsules, Plateau, Rects, Grid, Notes, Text, Tide, Topography, Mountains, Polka, Prism, Calendar and Vision OS. IPHONE AND IPAD The same app on both, laid out for each. On iPad the browse list gets a sidebar, the skeuomorphic styles keep their true proportions in the middle of the canvas instead of stretching, and the controls stay in reach. Your saved designs follow you across. MAKE IT ACTUALLY YOURS Every style opens up. Colours, layout, texture, wear, type, the lot. Nudge one setting or rebuild the thing from scratch. Save your designs and come back to them later, because a wallpaper is never quite finished. EXPORTS THAT FIT Wallpapers render at your device's full resolution and follow your device's real display corner radius, so nothing is cropped, squashed or resized to fit. Export a still or a Live Photo, save it to Photos, and set it from there. ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW New styles land regularly, along with collabs with apps and designers we like. Everything you have already made keeps working. Minipaper speaks English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch and Arabic.
