Core AI Widget vs XL Widgets

Core AI helps you discover more in the things around you. Take a photo or choose one from your library to explore objects, read labels, and find inspiration. EXPLORE YOUR PHOTOS Identify visible subjects and details with on-device Apple Intelligence. Choose a focus for plants, food, fashion, furniture, or product labels. Ask follow-up questions about your scan. READ AND CREATE Recognize text and barcodes, copy useful information, extract a color palette, crop your photo, or lift a subject from its background. COMPARE POSSIBILITIES Choose two photos to explore their visible differences, materials, and style. AI estimates of size and value are approximate, not measurements or appraisals. KEEP YOUR DISCOVERIES Completed analyses are saved in your local library. Favorite scans, organize collections, export selected content, or delete saved scans. Widgets provide quick access to your last scan and camera. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Photo processing happens on your device. No account, advertising, or analytics. You control sharing and exports. Search actions open external services with your selected search terms. Device backups may include your saved library. REQUIREMENTS The app supports iOS and iPadOS 26 or later. AI photo analysis, comparison, chat, and translation require iOS or iPadOS 27 with Apple Intelligence available on a supported device. Text recognition, barcode scanning, and colors work without Apple Intelligence. Camera and AR require suitable hardware.

XL Widgets is built for the brand-new extra-large widget in iOS 27, the 4x6 tile that fills most of your Home Screen. Turn one page into a photo frame, a countdown, a calendar, or a giant clock. Every widget comes in four sizes, small, medium, large, and extra-large, so you can mix a tiny CarPlay-ready dial with a full-page XL centerpiece. The five widgets: Photo Pick one or more photo sets from your library. The widget rotates through them on your Home Screen. At extra-large size it becomes a full-page picture frame. Countdown Track the days to a trip, a birthday, a deadline, or any date that matters. The XL size turns a countdown into a bold, glance-and-go number. Calendar See your upcoming events at a glance, from a quick agenda strip at small size to a full week view at extra-large. Daily Note A single line for today, written on-device by Apple Intelligence on supported iPhones. On other iPhones you get a curated quote instead. Either way, it is a fresh line worth a glance every morning. Clock and Date A big, typographic clock and date. At extra-large size it becomes a striking Home Screen centerpiece; at small size it doubles as a clean CarPlay dashboard widget. How it works Long-press your Home Screen, tap the plus button, choose XL Widgets, and pick a widget and size. Small widgets also show up on your CarPlay dashboard automatically. Privacy XL Widgets has no accounts, no sign-in, and no servers. Your photos, events, and notes are read and processed entirely on your iPhone and never leave the device. There is no analytics and no tracking of any kind. FREE TO TRY XL Widgets is free: Clock & Date, Daily Note, one countdown and one photo set. XL Widgets Pro — an optional one-time purchase ($2.99, once — never a subscription) — adds the Calendar widget, unlimited countdowns and unlimited photo sets. No ads, ever.
