Widgets Now vs Clip Status

Widget Now is a widget studio — and a way to keep one number in front of the people who share it with you. DESIGN YOUR OWN WIDGETS Start from 21 widget types: clocks, world clocks, calendars, countdowns, live weather, sunrise and sunset, moon phase, activity rings, steps, water, photos, battery, reminders, quotes and more. Then make them yours with 14 theme presets, 16 gradients, solid colours and photo backgrounds, 20 typefaces, and adjustable corners, padding and borders — with a live preview that updates as you edit. Every design works on both the Home Screen and the Lock Screen. TRACK ONE NUMBER TOGETHER Pick something you and someone else both care about — miles run, waters drunk, deals closed, pages read, days sober, money saved — and Widget Now keeps it in sync between you. Everyone's contributions roll into a single total with a leaderboard, and that number lands on every surface iOS offers: • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • A Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • A full-screen dashboard when you AirPlay to an Apple TV Invite someone with a link, a message or a QR code. When they tap it, an App Clip shows them the group straight away — they can put it on their Lock Screen before installing anything. LIVE ACTIVITIES Design timers, event countdowns, progress trackers and live counters in your own colours and symbols, then run them on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. SYNCS WITH ICLOUD Your designs follow you across iPhone and iPad automatically. Shared groups sync to everyone in the group, and updates arrive on their own — no refresh button. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no sign-ups, and no servers of ours. Everything lives in your own iCloud. What you share is limited to the people you share it with, and the contents of a shared group are stored encrypted. Widget Now collects no analytics and shows no ads.

Clip Status keeps you ahead of outages before they become your problem. It polls the status pages of the services you depend on — GitHub, AWS, Stripe, Cloudflare, and dozens more — and shows you their health at a glance, right from your Home Screen and Lock Screen. No dashboard to open, no account to create, no telemetry sent anywhere. WIDGETS THAT ACTUALLY REFRESH Add Clip Status to your Home Screen or Lock Screen and it keeps checking on its own schedule, independent of whether you've opened the app recently. Small, medium, and large Home Screen widgets, plus Lock Screen and StandBy widgets, so status is visible without a single tap. NATIVE ALERTS, TUNED PER SERVICE Get notified the instant a service degrades or recovers. Set the threshold per service — any issue, outages only, or critical incidents only — so you're not woken up for a blip you don't care about. HISTORY, NOT JUST A SNAPSHOT Every service carries a sparkline of recent checks, so you can tell a one-off blip from the start of a real incident at a glance. BRING YOUR OWN STATUS PAGE Not in the built-in catalog? Point Clip Status at any Statuspage.io-compatible URL and it behaves exactly like a built-in service — sparkline, alerts, and all. MUTE WHAT'S NOISY, WATCH WHAT MATTERS Keep a flaky service enabled without the alert noise. Set your own check interval — fast for critical infrastructure, slower for anything you just like to keep an eye on. A CURATED, ALWAYS-UPDATED CATALOG GitHub, AWS, Google Cloud, Apple, Vercel, Cloudflare, Stripe, Twilio, Datadog, and more — the catalog updates remotely, so new services show up without an app update. PRIVACY BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No analytics, no third-party tracking, no telemetry. The only network requests Clip Status makes are to the status page URLs you choose to enable — nothing else ever leaves your phone. Clip Status is built for developers and DevOps engineers who need reliable status awareness without switching contexts — now living on the screen you already glance at first.
