About

Pomelo Widgets

Features
Read full description

Put your widget together the way you want it. Drag text, photos, the clock and the weather around a canvas that is the exact size of the widget that lands on your Home Screen. Design it, don't just pick. Start from a template or an empty canvas, then make it yours — drag anything anywhere, group things into rows and columns, and reorder the layers until it looks right. You are always looking at the real thing at its real size. What you can put on it: • Text — your font, size, weight, colour and alignment • Photos — crop them, round the corners, or add a set that shuffles through the day • Clock — the time, ticking, in your own type • Date — in the format you like • Weather — seven faces, °C or °F, your location or any place you search for • Calendar — the month at a glance • Backgrounds — a colour, a gradient, or a photo • Reminders — pick a list and mark your reminders complete Every size Small, medium, large and extra large. Free to start Adding widgets from the templates is free, and so is keeping your edits on your first one. Room for 3, 10 or unlimited widgets is a one-time purchase, never a subscription, and the widgets you have already saved stay yours. No ads. No account to create.
