Made for iPhone Duo, and every iPhone. Open your iPhone Duo and give one calm thought two facing pages. Choose what your words look like in StandBy. WidgText brings daily affirmations, mindful quotes, and your own reminders to your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and StandBy. No streaks, guilt, or badges. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO • Book Spread with Pro: Create two widgets as facing pages, like an open book. Split a message across them or answer it with a gentle reflection, with a mirrored background on the right. Place the pair side by side on the two Home Screen pages of the open display. • Desk Mode: Choose a StandBy style. Minimal shows light words on black, free; Pro shows your full design as a card. • A sidebar workspace on the large open display, and familiar tabs when it's closed. Your edits carry over as you open and close it. • On any other iPhone, a Book Spread sits side by side and Desk Mode works in StandBy. LOOKS FOR THE SEASON • Explore seasonal collections of widget designs and mindful words. Earlier collections stay in the archive. • Start with free designs, choose an optional rewarded ad to keep a featured look, or unlock Pro collection designs. MORE PLACES FOR YOUR WORDS • Add a free one-line quote above the Lock Screen clock. Longer words may be shortened to fit. • Open Widget 1's editor with a free Control Center control on iOS 18 or later. MAKE IT YOURS • Write your own mantra, intention, reminder, or inside joke. • See your widget change as you edit colors, gradients, type, alignment, shadows, and borders. • Preview small, medium, and large Home Screen widgets and Lock Screen styles. iPad adds an Extra Large widget and a sidebar workspace. • Choose from 120 classic mindful messages, plus words in seasonal collections. • Keep one thought, or rotate a list: up to three quotes in Free, unlimited rotating quotes with Pro. • Receive an optional daily mindful notification at a time you choose. SHARE A LITTLE CALM • Export free Stories (1080×1920) or Pinterest (1000×1500) images with a quiet “made with WidgText” mark. Your words are visible in the image; its accompanying links exclude personal text. • Share your look as a design link. Words are excluded by default; include them only if you want anyone with the link to read them. • Recipients preview the look, choose whether to use any shared words, then Save. Pro styles require their own unlocks. New recipients install WidgText, then reopen the design link. FREE TO START. PRO IS ONE PURCHASE.

Design links are not encrypted. Firebase Analytics measures app use; Google AdMob supports the free version. Your words. Your look. A calmer Home Screen.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Dùn at none against WidgText's shown. WidgText's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
