Glance vs WidgetWire

Glance is a calm, free calendar for your iPhone, with a smart planner when you want one. FREE FOREVER, NO ACCOUNT Your calendar, repeating events, colors, widgets and the Up Next countdown are free. No sign-up, no ads. Glance reads the calendars already on your iPhone (iCloud, Google, Outlook), so there's nothing to import and nothing to sync. YOUR EVENTS CAN'T VANISH Glance never keeps a separate copy of your calendar. Your events stay in Apple Calendar, so an update or a reinstall can't erase them. UP NEXT, LIVE See what's happening now and what starts soon, with a live countdown: "in 6 min", "in 1 hr". TYPE IT THE WAY YOU'D SAY IT "Dentist Tuesday 3pm, remind me to bring forms" becomes the event and a reminder, with a travel-time estimate from Apple Maps. YOUR TO-DOS, PLANNED Glance uses your Apple Reminders as your to-do list, so tasks sync everywhere and work with Siri. Plan my week fits open to-dos into your free time. AGENDA, DAY AND MONTH VIEW A clean agenda for the days ahead, one day hour by hour, or the whole month. Swipe between days, drag an event to move it, drag its edge to resize it, and search everything. MAKE IT YOURS Pick an app color and icon, choose which calendars show, and decide what your home screen shows. WIDGETS Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep your next event one glance away. GLANCE PRO (OPTIONAL) • Event alerts from Glance, as early as you like • Plan my week: fits your goals and open tasks into your free time • Weekly insights: where your time went and one suggestion for next week • Morning briefing • Assistant and AI meeting prep (on-device with Apple Intelligence; on other iPhones, a cloud assistant you can turn on) Monthly, yearly and one-time lifetime plans are shown in the app at local prices. Got a code? Redeem it in Settings. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no trackers, no data sale. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, AI runs on your device. The optional cloud assistant asks first and never stores your requests. Subscriptions are billed to your Apple ID and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

Your widgets. Your design. Your data. WidgetWire connects the widgets you imagine to the data you care about. Power widgets with Google Sheets or JSON endpoints, or add your own text and numbers. Start with a ready-made design, change a few details and make a widget that feels like you. A GOOD STARTING POINT Choose from 18 layouts: meaningful numbers, progress rings, charts, lists, countdowns and more. Design small, medium and large Home Screen widgets. POWERED BY GOOGLE SHEETS OR JSON ENDPOINTS Connect a Google Sheet or JSON endpoint to power your widgets with your own data. Turn project lists, goals and key numbers into information you can see at a glance. Choose a column, a single spreadsheet cell or a fixed value, and reuse one connection across multiple widgets. Prefer to keep it simple? Type your own text or number directly into a content slot; no connection is required. FINE-TUNE THE FEELING Begin with one of five styles or 49 original scene backgrounds. Ready-made scene templates include editable content, so you can choose a look and make it yours without code. Search backgrounds by name or mood, or browse landscapes, botanicals, abstract artwork and materials. See every scene with your own widget content before choosing. Keep your layout and connection while changing the look. Then choose your typeface and colors, use your own photo or hide the title. FROM AN IDEA TO YOUR EVERYDAY Browse and search templates by category, then keep your designs together in one library. Tap Review & Save to preview a new design on a wallpaper and save it. Add WidgetWire to your Home Screen, and when iOS asks which widget to show, choose your design. Saved designs stay editable; changes reach your screen when you tap Save. Open a connection to see and edit the widgets it powers. ROOM TO GO FURTHER Most widgets need only a ready-made template and the visual editor. For advanced customization, the optional Custom layout supports a JSON canvas of text, stacks, bars, rings and more. Link a template URL to follow changes to its design. Private JSON endpoints can use bearer tokens, custom headers or query keys stored in the iOS Keychain. YOUR INFORMATION STAYS YOUR BUSINESS No WidgetWire account, advertising or analytics service. Your designs are stored on your device. Connected data is requested directly from the sources you choose. WIDGETWIRE PRO Your first widget design is free. The two examples the app starts with don't count. To make more designs, subscribe to WidgetWire Pro: $2.99 per month or $19.99 per year, each with a 1-week free trial. Designs you've already saved always stay editable. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Account Settings on the App Store after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.

A failed refresh may leave the last good values visible. WidgetWire is designed for iPhone and is currently available in English.
