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.
