WidgetWise — Learn something new with every phone unlock. Your home screen is the most visited place on your device. WidgetWise makes it work for you — turning everyday moments into effortless learning. HOW IT WORKS Create a collection around anything you want to learn or remember. Add definitions, quotes, facts, or freeform content — then add a widget to your home screen and let WidgetWise deliver that knowledge to you throughout the day. No app to open. No effort required. Add multiple widgets, each pointing to a different collection, and transform your entire home screen into a personalized knowledge feed. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT WidgetWise widgets are built to handle multiple content types in a single collection — and display each one with a layout optimized specifically for that format. Whether it's a definition, a quote, or a fact, the widget always presents it clearly and purposefully. You control how often your widgets refresh — from every 5 minutes to every hour — so your home screen evolves at exactly the pace that suits you. As you learn, WidgetWise learns with you. Mark any item as complete directly from your widget and it's removed from rotation — keeping your collection focused on what you still need to learn. AI-POWERED, EFFORTLESSLY Building a collection is fast with built-in AI assistance. Describe a topic, browse the AI-generated results, and add what resonates — perfectly formatted and ready to go. The AI surfaces ideas you might never have searched for yourself, making your collections richer without adding to your workload. You stay in control; the AI does the heavy lifting. BUILT FOR ANY LEARNER Students — Review vocab, definitions, and concepts between study sessions Language learners — Build exposure to new words and phrases effortlessly Professionals — Keep key knowledge and terminology top of mind Self-improvement — Fill your screen with affirmations and motivational quotes Curious minds — Enjoy a daily stream of facts and ideas If there's something you want to learn, remember, or be inspired by, WidgetWise has a place for it. YOUR WIDGET, YOUR WAY Customize each widget with your choice of background color, text color, text size, and font style — making every collection visually distinct and perfectly readable on your screen. As you learn, use the mark as complete button to retire content you've mastered, so your widgets always stay focused on what still needs your attention. YOUR COLLECTIONS, SAFE AND SYNCED Your collections are stored in iCloud, meaning they're tied to your Apple account. Switch to a new iPhone and everything you've built is waiting for you — exactly as you left it. WidgetWise is available by subscription with a one-week free trial. Build your first collection, add your first widget, and see what it feels like when your home screen actually works for you. WidgetWise, remember what matters — without even trying.

Weekr

Features
Read full description

A week doesn't fail in a day. It fails in a task moved four times, an evening lost, a habit skipped on the same day every week — and a list of today can't show you any of that. Weekr puts the whole week on one screen — tasks, habits, your calendar, and your Reminders, seven days at a time — so you can see what's coming, keep every habit on a streak, and move things as plans change. PLAN THE WEEK, NOT JUST THE DAY • See all seven days side by side on iPad and Mac, or swipe day to day on iPhone. • Drag tasks between days as priorities shift, or onto a time to block it out around your events. • Plan a task for a week, a month, or longer, and pick the day later. Included with Weekr Max. • Keep everything else in lists of your own, beside your Inbox. Included with Weekr Max. HABITS THAT STICK • Daily, weekly, monthly, on the days you choose, or on a rule like "the first Monday". • Or "three times a week", on whichever days suit you. Included with Weekr Max. • Repetitions for what you do several times a day — eight glasses of water, ticked one at a time. KEEP EVERY HABIT ON A STREAK • Every habit counts its planned times done in a row, and keeps its best. • Tick one late and the run holds. Mark a day off and it doesn't break. • Habits Performance shows each habit's streak, its calendar, and how much of the last four weeks it kept. GOALS YOU CAN SEE THE WORK BEHIND • Set a goal for a week, a month, or a year, in your own words. • Link tasks to it — a task can serve more than one goal. • Performance shows what each week actually did for each goal. VIK, YOUR PLANNING COACH • Ask about your week and get an answer that reads your own tasks, not a generic tip. • He offers a card — add this task, start this habit, set this goal — and nothing is written into your week until you tap it. • Requires Apple Intelligence on a supported device. YOUR CALENDAR AND REMINDERS, IN CONTEXT • See your events right above each day's tasks, and plan around your meetings. • Connect your Reminders lists — tick one off in Weekr and it completes in Reminders too. FOCUS WHEN IT COUNTS • Start a focus session on any task — Pomodoro timer or stopwatch. • A Live Activity keeps it on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • Time is banked per task, so you can see where your hours actually go. SEE WHAT YOU GOT DONE • Pick any week, month, or year and see what got done — tap any figure for the tasks behind it. • Past days stay as they were, and the unfinished review gathers what you didn't get to. • Mark days off so a holiday doesn't count against you. READY FOR iPHONE DUO • Today when it's closed, the whole week when you open it. SHARE TO WEEKR, OR ASK SIRI • Share text or a screenshot from any app and Weekr turns it into tasks, each showing the day it will land on before anything is saved. • Or say it out loud: "Add a task to Weekr" — "call the dentist on Thursday" lands on Thursday. EVERYTHING IN SYNC • Private iCloud sync keeps your iPhone, iPad, and Mac in step. • Widgets for today, this week's completion, your goals, and where your time went — on the Home Screen, the Lock Screen, and now the Mac. • Five buttons in Control Center, and the same actions in Shortcuts. DESIGNED FOR APPLE • Native on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. • Fast, clean, and private — your tasks live in your own iCloud, and we can't read them. Plan the week, not just the day. — Weekr is free to use, with no time limit. Weekr Max lifts the free limits (one calendar, one Reminders list, five habits, three goals, and the recent Performance history), adds lists and planning by the week or month, and is available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time Lifetime purchase — see in-app pricing. Subscriptions renew until canceled; cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Terms of Use: https://theweekr.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://theweekr.com/privacy
