Design your own Home Screen widgets — exactly the way you want them. Getwid is a widget design studio, not a template gallery. You start with a blank canvas and build the widget layer by layer: photos from your library, your own text, icons, a live clock, a calendar, a countdown. Move it, rotate it, restyle it, undo it. Up to 24 layers in a single widget. NEW IN 2.0 — DISCOVER Browse widgets the community shared, tap a design to see who made it, and add it to your collection in one tap. Share your own designs whenever you want. Like the ones you love. Report or block anything you don't. WHAT YOU CAN BUILD • Photo stickers from your own library, with dim and blur • Text layers — font, size, alignment, color, opacity, effects, rotation • Analog and digital clocks • Calendar and date layers • Countdown and count-up timers • Icon layers from Apple's SF Symbols • Backgrounds: solid colors, 5-stop gradients, patterned borders THREE SIZES Small, medium and large Home Screen widgets. Pick a size, design for it, and the system widget picker only offers the designs that fit. FREE, WITH NO CATCH No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. No ads. No paywalled layers. Nothing is counted, nothing is capped. YOUR DESIGNS STAY YOURS Widget designs are stored on your device — not uploaded, not synced, not scanned. Photos you add never leave your phone unless you choose to share that design on Discover. Signing in is optional and unlocks nothing; it's only there for Discover and to sync your language across devices. NINE LANGUAGES Turkish, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Brazilian Portuguese. Questions or ideas? There's a support form right inside the app, under Settings → About.
