The sheet you open a dozen times a day. Put it on your Home Screen and just look at it. Borders, background colors, and formatting are reproduced as-is. ■ No sharing or web publishing required You never have to "publish to the web" or create a share link. Your sheet stays private — you just pick the range you want to see. ■ Simple to set up Pick a file, a sheet, and a range. That's it. Formula results and IMAGE function output show up exactly as they are. ■ Built with no server Sheet Widget has no backend at all. Your credentials live only in your iPhone's Keychain, and your sheet content is never sent to us or anyone else. No ads, no tracking. ■ Free • 1 widget (small, medium, large, and extra large sizes; extra large requires iOS 27 or later) • Borders, background colors, text colors, bold, merged cells and more, faithfully reproduced • Layout that preserves the sheet's exact cell ratios • Tap the widget to open your spreadsheet or the app ■ Pro • Unlimited widgets • Charts on your Home Screen (line, bar, pie, and more) • Notifications when values, formatting, or borders change • Switch between multiple accounts • Tap a cell to copy its value, then land on whichever destination you chose • 9 preset theme colors plus a custom color picker • 9 preset background colors plus a custom color picker • Instant refresh button • Hide the watermark • Toggle the header and footer Pro comes with a 7-day free trial. ■ About refresh timing iOS controls when widgets refresh — roughly every 15–60 minutes. Because of that, there is a delay between changing your sheet and receiving a notification. Pro's instant refresh button lets you update right away.
