Create your own iOS 14 widgets with Widgetsmith

Difficulty Rated 1 out of 3 stars

Time needed 10

Widgets have come into their own in iOS 14 but with the Widgetsmith app you can take them to the next level. It lets you pick and choose from a range of widgets in different sizes, and allows you to flexibly customise them using different colours, fonts and backgrounds. You can even pick an image to use in the Photos widget - something Apple isn’t currently letting you do.

It’s also possible to time the widgets you create so they appear when you want them. And, because they work with Apple’s stock apps, you can tap a widget and view your data which makes them useful as well as pretty. You’re certainly free to experiment and explore because the app is free, with a subscription only required for the weather, tides and some styles.
