About

Shrine

Features
Read full description

Shrine is a full page widget maker for fandoms. Build a home screen widget from your own photos, a live countdown and big stats, then let it fill the entire extra-large iOS 27 widget: one whole page for the thing you love most, instead of a small square in the corner. BUILD A FULL PAGE WIDGET IN MINUTES Pick a layout template such as Grid Shrine, Full Bleed, Countdown Focus, About Me or Stats Board, and treat the page like a moodboard. Add photo tiles from your camera roll, write a line or two, set a date to count down to, drop in a stat with a big number. Reorder tiles until it feels right, and the live preview shows exactly what your page will look like. It is the custom widget you would have drawn yourself. PHOTO WIDGET, COUNTDOWN WIDGET, ALL ON ONE PAGE A photo widget for the faces you want to see every time you unlock your phone. A countdown widget to the concert, the finale or the comeback, ticking on its own. Stats that say 365 days, 100% vibes or whatever number matters to you. Every tile lives on the same page, so your kpop widget, your anime page or your best friend page reads as one shrine instead of a scatter of small widgets. CUTE WIDGETS AND AESTHETIC THEMES FOR EVERY MOOD Themes give every shrine its own look, from the soft indigo of Lilac Dream to the pale chrome of Y2K Chrome and the warm pink of Cherry Pop: cute widgets for the bff page, Y2K pages for the throwback era. Pick one and the whole page restyles, whether that is a kpop theme for the comeback or a softer widget theme for your best friend page, so your aesthetic widget matches the rest of your home screen. Subscribers can export the page as a hi-res image for the lock screen. RIGHT ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Add the Shrine widget at the extra large widget size and your page is there every time you unlock your phone. Edit the shrine and the home screen widget updates the moment you save. Keep more than one shrine; the one you edited last is the one on your page. A FANDOM APP THAT STAYS YOURS Shrine is a fandom app with no account, because it does not need one. Your photos stay on your device and nothing you add to a shrine is uploaded anywhere. Aesthetic, fandom, home screen: this is the iOS 27 widget built for those three words. Full page widgets need iOS 27 on iPhone. On iOS 18 through 26, and on iPad, Shrine gives you the same tiles, templates and themes as a Large widget. Shrine is free to download. Using it requires a subscription; the details are shown in the app before any purchase.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Shrine at none against Micro Widget's shown. Shrine also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
