Build any widget you want for your iPhone, Lock Screen or Mac, just by describing it. Tell WidgetAI what you have in mind. It designs and builds the widget while you watch, then you refine it in plain language until it's exactly right. Show it a photo of a look you like, or a screenshot of what's wrong, and it works from that. When it looks the way you want, it goes straight to your Home Screen. Start from a template or from a blank canvas. No menus, no hundred toggles. Type what you want and watch it appear. WHAT YOU CAN BUILD The widgets the big template packs will never make for you: - A countdown to your next flight - Your favourite photo, or one you pick, with the date over it - Your GitHub contribution streak, and nothing else - A stock you're watching, with your own target price - Days since your last coffee - The weather, but only when it's actually cold - Your next meeting, the way you'd actually want to see it - Small and medium Home Screen widgets, plus circular, rectangular and inline Lock Screen widgets If you can describe it in a sentence, you can put it on your screen. DESIGN IT YOUR WAY One sentence is all it takes to try a whole new look. Classic, minimalist, monochrome, retro, brutalist. Tweak the fonts, colours, layout and mood until it fits your Home Screen today. Change your mind tomorrow. Widgets look right in the tinted and Clear Home Screen styles too. CHANGE IT WITHOUT ASKING Ask for a control and the widget gets one: a colour, a city, a target date, a number. Change it yourself in the app, no AI edit needed. CONNECT REAL DATA Your widgets can show live information, not just static art: - Your photos - Weather and air quality - Calendar and reminders - Health and activity - Battery - What's playing in Apple Music - Stocks and crypto - GitHub activity - World clocks - RSS and news feeds - Any HTTP API you can point it at Once a widget is on your Home Screen it keeps itself up to date. LEARN AS YOU GO Nine short built-in guides take you from your first widget to custom data sources. PRIVATE OR SHARED Keep your widgets to yourself, or publish the good ones for other people to use. PRICING Free to try: 1 widget and 10 AI edits a month, and you can build and preview before you ever pay. Pro: 50 AI edits a month, unlimited widgets, premium templates and custom HTTP APIs. Max: 250 AI edits a month, everything in Pro. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.getwidgetai.com/legal/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.getwidgetai.com/legal/privacy
