Your information. Your layout. Your widget. WidgetMix combines everyday data with contact and app shortcuts so you can create a Home Screen widget that is uniquely yours. EVERYDAY INFORMATION, TOGETHER • Contact shortcuts that open the details of people you use often • App and website shortcuts, registered through supported launch links, suggestions, or the app list and search • Mobile data allowances (generic web reading is beta) and usage balances for supported AI services • Everyday notes, shopping lists and reminders • iPhone battery level and battery levels of supported Bluetooth devices • Apple Calendar and Google Calendar events, a monthly calendar, and markers on days with events • Weather, temperature and chance of rain • Health data for today: steps, walking/running distance and active energy • Gmail INBOX unread counts • Habits, countdowns to special dates, garbage collection days and data from supported web APIs Choose what matters to you and bring schedules, balances and notes into one glanceable display. MAKE IT YOUR OWN Create Small, Medium and Large widgets. Reorder an automatic layout or arrange items freely. Add items with the Add button or drag them from Unplaced onto the canvas. Move and resize them, or return them to Unplaced. Show balances as pie charts, bar charts or text. Adjust card and graph sizes, backgrounds, text colors, palettes and gradients. Switch layers to organize the information you want to see. Optional Brush, Pop Flower, Meter and Clockwork skins also offer combination graphs that combine several data values. Skins require separate purchases in addition to app access. The Initial 3 Skin Bundle contains Brush, Pop Flower and Meter; Clockwork is sold separately. EASIER TO SEE AND SET UP Senior mode offers larger text and icons. It shares registered contacts and apps with standard mode, so switching modes does not require registering them again. For the common-shortcut method, set up the Apple Shortcut once, then add contacts and apps in WidgetMix. Contact icons open contact details; they do not dial automatically. Help videos open in an external browser from the ? buttons. ABOUT CONNECTIONS Generic web reading of mobile data allowances is a beta feature. Only ahamo has been tested on a physical device; other carriers are unverified. It uses no official carrier API: you sign in to the carrier’s official website and select a remaining-data candidate from the page. Site layouts or authentication can prevent retrieval. Check the result against the official site when first setting it up and after updates. povo2.0 is currently unsupported. Some features require external accounts, permissions and initial setup. Google integration is optional. Gmail message bodies, subjects, senders and attachments are not retrieved. Web-based AI usage integrations are unofficial and may stop working if a provider changes its service. Bluetooth battery display requires a device with a readable battery service; Apple Watch and AirPods battery levels cannot be retrieved via Bluetooth. Refresh timing depends on iOS and the connected service. PURCHASE REQUIRED Core features require a monthly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. In the US, the monthly plan is USD 1.00 and lifetime access is USD 14.99. Eligible monthly subscribers receive a 14-day free trial, followed by automatic paid renewal. To avoid renewal, cancel in Apple's subscription settings at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Lifetime access has no expiration date. Buying it does not automatically cancel an existing monthly subscription. Restore purchases in the app. Check the purchase screen for local prices and trial eligibility. No separate WidgetMix account is required. Terms: https://sparkegg-studio.com/terms/widgetmix/ Privacy: https://sparkegg-studio.com/privacy/widgetmix/
