Your home screen is prime real estate — so build something fun and useful on it. Widget Playground is a design studio for widgets that do more: craft photo and text art, play tap-to-answer quizzes, and chart your Apple Health data your way. Start with a photo, an AI image, or a blank canvas, then drag, pinch, and twist every element until it's exactly, delightfully yours. GET CREATIVE • Start from a library photo or a plain canvas, or generate one with Apple Image Playground • Direct-manipulation editing: drag to move, pinch to resize, twist to rotate, double-tap to type • Around 25 font families, sizes from 8 to 600 pt, true bold and italic faces • Four color modes: solid, gradient, rainbow, and per-letter — give every single letter its own color and size • 3D extruded text with adjustable depth, plus text that curves along an arc • Speech bubbles and rounded containers with tails, padding, and fills • Subject lift: your photo's subject rises into its own layer, so text weaves behind a person and in front of the sky — move and scale the subject and the background fills itself in • Background tricks: blur, black & white, hue shift, or swap in a solid or gradient fill WIDGETS THAT DO THINGS • Countdowns to any date ahead, plus a live ticking timer with steady monospaced digits • Tap counters: tap the widget itself to count laps, coffees, or days — no app launch needed • Auto-updating dates in your pick of format, length, and case • Quotes in a range of tones — including one that riffs on your own photo, so every image gets a different take (on devices that support Apple Intelligence) QUIZ YOURSELF FROM THE HOME SCREEN • 12 topics: Geography, Flags, Math, Science, Space, Memory, and more • Answer by tapping the widget — instant green-or-red feedback, then the next question • Difficulty levels and per-topic colors, with scores, streaks, and accuracy tracked in the app • Fresh questions from Apple Intelligence, backed by a curated bank so there's always a next question YOUR HEALTH, CHARTED YOUR WAY • 14 health metrics (integrates with the Health app and uses data stored in the Health app) — steps, heart rate, sleep, workouts, mood, and more • Multiple chart styles: trend lines, hourly ranges, sleep hypnograms, top-days medals, and beyond • Latest Workout shows a map snapshot of your recorded GPS route • Log water, caffeine, weight, and mood with one tap, straight from the widget • Custom accent colors on your charts, plus light or dark looks per widget A FEW MORE THINGS • Up to 30 widgets at once, each in its own slot, in small, medium, and large sizes • A rectangle crop mode tailors each square design for medium widgets, element by element • Widgets render with the same math as the editor — what you design is what you get • Tap any widget to jump right back into its editor, and share any design as an image PRIVACY • We do not collect any data from this app. • Privacy Policy: https://sydvesti.com/privacy-policy Note: AI image generation requires iOS 27 or iPadOS 27 and a device that supports Apple Intelligence. AI quotes and quiz generation also use Apple Intelligence where available. Health widgets need permission, granted once in the app. Please note that some features require a subscription.
