Tilekit
Read full descriptionHide full description
Describe a widget. Tilekit builds it. No layers, no scripts, no design skills. Tell Tilekit what you want — "today's calendar with the next two reminders below" or "step count and a quick-add water button" — and watch a real widget appear on your Home Screen. — BUILT FROM PLAIN ENGLISH — 21 building blocks (text, metric, gauge, list, photo, calendar, reminders, health, shortcut, contact, and more) combine into 7 layouts. The AI picks the right ones for what you described. Edit any block by tapping it. — YOUR REAL DATA, NOT FAKE PREVIEWS — Tilekit reads what's already on your iPhone: Apple Calendar, Reminders, HealthKit steps and activity, Photos, Contacts, Shortcuts. Everything stays on-device. Nothing is sent off your phone except your widget description. — INTERACTIVE WIDGETS THAT ACTUALLY WORK — Tap a reminder in the widget to mark it complete. Toggle a HomeKit scene. Run a Shortcut. Built on iOS 17 AppIntent so taps respond instantly without launching the app. — EVERY WIDGET IS ALSO A SIRI COMMAND — The widgets you create automatically appear as voice phrases and Spotlight results. "Hey Siri, today's plan" runs the widget you just built. No setup. — SHARE THE SPEC, NOT THE DATA — Send a widget design to a friend or coworker. They install it; their widget shows their calendar, their steps, their photos. The design travels; the data stays personal. — FULL APPLE PLATFORM — Live Activity. Dynamic Island. StandBy. Lock Screen. Control Center. Sign in with Apple. — FREE & PAID — Tilekit is free to download. The free tier includes 3 saved widgets, single-slot layouts, and 5 AI widget generations per month. Tilekit Pro is an auto-renewing subscription that unlocks unlimited saved widgets, every advanced layout, and unlimited AI generations — with Family Sharing. $9.99/month or $79.99/year (the yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial). Exact prices are shown in the app before you confirm. Prefer to pay as you go? Optional one-time Spark packs add extra AI generations on the free tier, starting at $2.99. Sparks never expire and don't require a subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Tilekit at 3 against DarkScreenReader's 1. DarkScreenReader's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
