Thanks to this application (and the other Widget apps from PacoLabs), you can now customize the Home screen and the Today view of your device, by adding custom widgets for some specific purposes. From anywhere in your device, you'll have access to your own information and actions. Add various widgets for your different needs. You can, for instance, add a calendar that will display the current month and the busy days. You can add your favorite photos of your beloved family and friends. You can add your horoscope, a photo of the day (from the internet), some audio notes, some world clocks and more... The application contains some free widgets like the Note widget allowing you to quickly view and edit some text notes and reminders and the Decision widget allowing you to randomly choose one item among several choices. Each other widget type can be tried and can be unlocked separately. You can also unlock all the current and future widget types at once, if you are a widget addict ! Those Widgets are compatible with the new iOS 14 Home Screen Widgets. The application is really easy to use and is adapted to the fresh look of your device. Dark mode of iOS13 is supported. In Today view: You can add as many widgets as you want and they will be displayed in up to 3 different lists. Those same lists will be available in the Today view and in the application (although it is possible, if you want, to hide some widgets in the Today view). To avoid overloading the Today view, when too many widgets are displayed, an intuitive control will allow you to navigate from one widget to another. Even if the main purpose of the app is to view the widgets in the Today view, it can also be very handy to view them directly in the application (a long press on a widget in the Today view will open it directly in the main application).

Pull out a drawer and find what you need • Keep notes, to-dos, links and passwords on individual cards. • Rename your available drawers and choose their colors. • See folder titles when you open a drawer, or search to find a card quickly. • No account required. Your notes and collection are stored on this device. A little lock for passwords Choose a passphrase to encrypt the records in your password drawer. You can also enable Face ID or Touch ID to unlock it. Ordinary notes, to-dos and links are not covered by the password drawer's encryption. Keep your passphrase safe: the developer cannot recover it for you. Quirky Drawer is a place to keep information by hand. It does not offer automatic cross-device sync or website autofill. Meet six wonderfully odd pals A cat, rabbit, dog, duck, bear and sloth wander around your cabinet. Tap them to see their little reactions, or visit their character pages to play.

There are eighteen regular collectibles, plus two secret characters found only in capsules. Tap to claim twenty welcome tickets. Open the app on seven, fourteen and thirty consecutive days to unlock gifts of seven, fourteen and thirty tickets. Each gift can be claimed once, and you choose when to claim it. Tickets come only from free gifts; there are no paid tickets. Duplicates are possible. Regular collectibles have a combined 99% chance; the two secret collectibles share a 1% chance. Start with two drawers Download for free and use drawer slots 5 and 8. You can switch slot 8 to the password drawer. Search, manual backups, animal interactions and capsules are included. One optional purchase unlocks all twelve drawers, with no subscription. Your local price is shown in the App Store. Keep a backup of your own Export a backup file to a location you choose and restore from it when needed. Password records remain encrypted in the backup; ordinary cards are readable.
