How long until GTA VI? Until the next Avengers premiere? Until Christmas? And until your team's next game? Warpy puts it on your home screen as a widget: days to go, date, time and venue. Without opening anything, without digging through social media that's never up to date. Thousands of events. Up to date, every day. EVERYTHING YOU'RE WAITING FOR GTA VI, Zelda, the next Marvel and Pixar premieres, the Oscars, Coachella, CES and WWDC. Christmas, New Year's, Día de Muertos, Black Friday. World Cup 2030, the Super Bowl and the Olympics. And your own events: weddings, trips, birthdays, anything. You can also bring them in from your Calendar, your Reminders or your contacts' birthdays. FOLLOWING Follow your team across all its competitions, a whole league, a brand or a saga: its widget moves on to the next date by itself, with nothing for you to do. Liga MX, LaLiga, Premier League, Champions League, MLS, Argentina's Liga Profesional, Brasileirão, NFL, NBA, MLB, the Mexican Baseball League and Formula 1, with the full season schedule, and national teams too. Holidays renew by themselves every year. LIVE What's happening today (matches, launches, showcases, festivals), with how far along each one is and what's still to come. Tap a match to follow either team. And the Live widget, as a list or a grid, filtered your way. MY WIDGETS Everything of yours in three blocks the size of your widgets: Following, Events and Lists. On medium and large What's Next and Live widgets, tap an event and that event opens. YOUR WAY Nine widget styles (ring, flip, calendar, agenda, duel and more), eight themes plus glass and your own colors, five typefaces, and a background photo: the one Warpy brings for each sport, or yours. Small, medium and large sizes, lock screen widgets, and What's Next, as a list, a Mosaic or My next 3. With iOS 27, full screen too: the Cover. SHARE IT Thirteen postcards for your stories, including Warpy, your widget just as it is, and Holo, which shimmers as you move your iPhone. Share any event with a link: whoever opens it adds it with one tap. And add any event to your Calendar with one tap. REMINDERS For one-off dates (a trip, a premiere, Christmas) Warpy lets you know 60 and 7 days before. On the day, it reminds you at the hour you choose or, if the event has a time, like a game or a race, 15, 30 or 60 minutes before. For your team, before its next games. You can adjust or turn off everything in Settings. UPDATES ITSELF League schedules are checked twice a day, and new events arrive without updating the app. Your widgets catch up by themselves, even if you don't open Warpy. And every date shows as it does in your country. ON ALL YOUR DEVICES On iPhone and iPad, with widgets sized for each. Your widgets sync through iCloud to every device signed in with your Apple ID. It's on by default, and you can turn it off in Settings with "My widgets in iCloud". Background photos stay on each device. TRULY PRIVATE No account, no tracking, no ads. Your widgets live on your iPhone and, if you keep "My widgets in iCloud" on, in your own iCloud. Never on Warpy's servers. WARPY PRO Warpy is free: up to three active countdowns, the Days, Bar and Battery styles, the System, Paper and Ink themes, Warpy's background photos and four postcards with Warpy's signature. Following, Live, reminders, the Cover and iCloud sync are free too. Warpy Pro unlocks everything else: unlimited widgets, all nine styles, every theme and your own colors, all five typefaces, your own background photos, rotation through My widgets and all twelve postcards without the signature, with Holo and video. It's a one-time purchase, not a subscription: pay once and it's yours forever, on every device with your Apple ID, and it's shared with your family.
