Read full descriptionHide full description
My Workday: Pay Widget is designed for people with a regular weekly schedule who want a clearer, more personal view of the time they spend at work. Enter your usual workdays, start and end times, earnings details, and next payday once. The app turns that routine into three connected widget experiences: Earnings, Payday, and Work Mood. THREE WIDGETS, ONE WORKDAY β’ Earnings follows the schedule you enter and shows estimated progress before, during, and after work. β’ Payday keeps your next expected payday and pay-cycle position in view. β’ Work Mood waits until near the end of your scheduled workday before offering a private check-in. β’ Shared information stays consistent across related widget designs and the Workday dashboard. A LOOK THAT FEELS LIKE YOURS β’ Browse Earnings, Payday, and Work Mood designs together in one gallery. β’ Choose from illustrated, minimal, calendar, coffee, photo, and scrapbook-inspired styles. β’ Use your own selected photos with supported Payday designs. β’ Preview small and medium layouts before applying them. β’ Personalize supported colors, typography, artwork, and display options. YOUR ROUTINE AT A GLANCE β’ See whether today's workday is upcoming, in progress, complete, or a day off. β’ Follow estimated earnings for today, this week, and the current pay period. β’ Keep the next payday and a clear countdown close at hand. β’ Open Workday for one consistent view of today's status, earnings, mood, pay period, and payday. β’ Unconfigured information remains visibly empty instead of appearing as made-up personal data. SET UP THE WAY YOU WORK β’ Choose your regular workdays and usual start and end times. β’ Add paid or unpaid breaks and optional overtime estimates. β’ Configure annual, monthly, weekly, hourly, or a fixed amount per workday. β’ Choose weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, or monthly pay schedules. PRIVATE WORK MOOD Choose from six mood states, add optional work factors or a private note, and review your mood history over time. Work Mood uses the schedule you enter, so it supports reflection without interrupting the middle of your working day. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your compensation details, schedule, payday information, widget preferences, selected widget photos, mood entries, and notes are processed locally. The app has no account, ads, third-party analytics SDK, or cross-app tracking. Supported widgets can also hide earnings amounts. Earnings are estimates based on the information you enter. They may not include taxes, deductions, benefits, bonuses, payroll rounding, unpaid absences, or employer-specific rules. My Workday: Pay Widget is a personal visualization toolβnot a payroll record, pay stub, accounting service, tax calculator, or financial adviser. Requires iOS 17 or later.
