This App provides a Widget for the notification center which shows the current memory and file storage usage and the battery level. The lightweight widget lets you access this information fast and anytime. Information that is shown in the notification center: - Disk storage (total, used and free capacity) - Memory (total, wired, active, inactive, free memory) - battery level (current percentage) The information is provided as bar chart and in absolute values. Compact, fast and easy to read. The App for the Apple Watch lets you control the memory, battery and disk storage of your iPhone status directly from the watch, very fast and easy. The Watch App includes a "Glance" with one of the three status graphs, which one can be configured in the iPhone App. The Watch App itself can display all information, but you can also configure which of the information will be shown.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sys Info Widget at 4.2 against File's 2.6. Sys Info Widget also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (37 vs 5). File's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (72% vs 60%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. File sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Sys Info Widget asks for nothing beyond the download.
Sys Info Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sys Info Widget has 37 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of File's written reviews are positive against 60% of Sys Info Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
File ships an update every 2 weeks, Sys Info Widget every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
