About

TintCraft

Features
Read full description

TintCraft lets you build four kinds of Home Screen widgets — clock, calendar, battery and countdown — with colors and fonts you tune yourself. Every feature is available to use without limits. ■ Four types, 40 original templates Clock, calendar, battery and countdown, across four series: Minimal, Gradient Glass, Retro Pixel and Journal Outline — 40 original templates in all. Each card in the library renders exactly like the real widget. ■ Live-preview editor The top half previews all five forms at once — small, medium, large, Lock Screen and StandBy — and the bottom half updates instantly as you adjust: - Color: a 12-color palette and 8 preset gradients, plus your own solid color or two-color gradient (pick both end colors and the angle). Light/dark color pairs that follow the system appearance are supported too. - Fonts: four system designs (default, rounded, serif, monospaced) plus four open-source fonts under the SIL Open Font License — Space Mono, Crimson Text, Pacifico and VT323. Five text sizes, and an adjustable weight for clocks. ■ Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy Every type supports all three Home Screen sizes (small, medium, large) and all three Lock Screen styles (circular, rectangular, inline), and sits neatly in StandBy while charging on its side. ■ Countdowns Add birthdays, anniversaries and events, each with an SF Symbol icon. The three states — "n days left / today / n days ago" — show automatically, with an optional yearly repeat that counts Feb 29 correctly. ■ Open-source fonts and licenses All four bundled fonts are provided under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. You can read each font's full license text from the Settings screen. ■ Your data stays on your device No account, no server. Your widget settings are stored on your device and are never uploaded. The calendar widget never reads your events. [Ads and purchase] Every feature — templates, fonts, colors and countdowns — is available without limits. A banner ad is shown at the bottom of the screen; a one-time "Remove Ads" purchase hides the banner (no subscription, no auto-renewal). Showing ads requires a network connection, but the settings you create are never sent. Privacy policy: https://honki.ai/tintcraft-ios/privacy.html

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Timer at none against TintCraft's 1. Timer also leads on ads (none vs shown). TintCraft's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 7 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
