Your Lock Screen, finally useful. GlanceKit turns your iPhone's Lock Screen into a place you actually check — not just for the time, but for the note you wrote, the countdown you're waiting on, or the calendar you glance at every morning. WHAT YOU CAN PUT THERE • Notes — a shopping list, a quote, anything you would normally type into Notes • Checklists — ticked right on the Lock Screen, no unlocking needed to see what is left • Countdowns — a birthday, a flight, a deadline, down to the day or the minute • A calendar — this month, always current, no permissions needed • A clock — down to the second, if you want it • Weather — current conditions, wherever you are • Crypto, stocks, exchange rates, headlines, moon phases and more — over a hundred sources built in, or point a widget at your own HOW IT WORKS Build a widget in the app, add it to your Lock Screen the normal iOS way, and it is there — live, at a glance, before you even unlock your phone.
