Your calendar, right where you look. Daymark puts your daily planner, sticky notes and next event on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. See your week in pastel event blocks, keep a note close, and make a calendar wallpaper that feels like yours. SEE YOUR WEEK IN COLOR Plan around seven days of calendar events. The Week in color widget uses compact, colored blocks and shows an overflow count on busy days. Choose the large Home Screen widget for a short agenda below your week. Start on Sunday or Monday. KEEP THE NEXT THING CLOSE Check your next calendar event or a pinned note from a Lock Screen widget. Add a month calendar, daily agenda or notes widget to your Home Screen. Hide personal text when you would rather show counts. MAKE TIME FEEL FAMILIAR Choose System, 12-hour or 24-hour military time. Your time format carries through the agenda, widgets and wallpaper. See the time your way, from morning plans to an evening reminder. MAKE A WALLPAPER YOURS Choose a calm palette or your own photo. Adjust the dimming and export a week, month or agenda wallpaper. The clock in Studio is a preview; iOS adds the real clock when you set your wallpaper. SMALL TASKS. LESS TO REMEMBER. Keep a dated to-do list with daily or weekly repeats. Future tasks stay on their dates and overdue tasks are labeled. Complete local tasks from a Home Screen widget. Write and edit sticky notes, then pin the one you want to see. USE YOUR EXISTING CALENDARS Choose which iOS calendars appear in Daymark. Google and Outlook events work through accounts already added to Apple Calendar. Create and edit events with the familiar iOS calendar editor, including repeats and alerts. Connect dated Apple Reminders and complete them from your agenda. WIDGETS WITHOUT A SHORTCUT SETUP Native widgets use iOS timelines and request a refresh when you change Daymark. iOS controls update timing, so instant background refresh is not guaranteed. Calendar syncing is managed by iOS and your calendar provider. Wallpaper exports are still images. For automatic replacement, use the included Create Daymark Wallpaper action with Apple's Set Wallpaper Photo action in a personal Shortcuts automation. The app includes setup instructions. OPTIONAL DAYMARK PLUS Save named calendar and appearance setups, then switch between them. Give each configurable widget its own saved setup or note. Plus is available as an auto-renewing annual or weekly subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Your current calendar, tasks, notes, basic widgets, photo and palette controls, and wallpaper exports stay free. Restore an eligible purchase from Settings or the upgrade screen. YOUR DAY, YOUR DATA No account required and no ads. Local tasks, notes, saved setups and selected photos stay on your device. Calendar changes use your existing iOS calendar services. RevenueCat handles purchase verification and restores; Superwall presents upgrade offers and measures their performance. These services process purchase records, pseudonymous identifiers and app/device information, not your calendar, task, note or photo contents. Read the privacy policy for details.

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. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://widgetwire.app/privacy.html Good to know: Google Sheets must be shared with anyone who has the link; Google sign-in is not supported. iOS controls widget refresh timing, so updates are not instant or guaranteed at a fixed interval. A failed refresh may leave the last good values visible. WidgetWire is designed for iPhone and is currently available in English.
